Safeguarding Science Workshops - In Person

Description

The University is hosting Public Safety’s Safeguarding Science Workshops in person on December 17, 2024 from 10:30am to 11:30am in OVC Lifetime Learning Centre Room 1713, and again from 1:00 pm to 2:00pm in UC Room 001A Peter Clarke Hall, North Wing.

Agenda:

• Presentation by Jennifer Weese, Research Security Centre, Public Safety Canada 
• Q&A Discussion 

Background:

The University of Guelph’s research, data and products are highly valuable, which also makes them vulnerable to threats. Canada is an attractive target for malicious actors who want to acquire knowledge and intellectual property, sensitive technology, and research and development to advance initiatives that may counter Canada’s national security or economic and social interests.

Awareness is the first step to safeguard our science. University of Guelph researchers, research staff (including technicians and postdoctoral fellows) as well as graduate students are encouraged to attend. 

The 1-hour in person workshop will focus on:

• Best practices in maintaining a security-conscious research organization.
• Research security guidance and tools to help recognize and mitigate risks to Canadian
  researchers and institutions.
• Understanding of sensitive technology and how to recognize dual-use technology.
