The research landscape continues to evolve, and research security has become essential for driving innovation, strengthening resilience and maintaining integrity. Yet, challenges such as limited resources, fragmented systems and emerging risks continue to create vulnerabilities across the sector. As global collaboration expands and digital infrastructures become more complex, the need for coordinated, forward-thinking approaches has also become greater.
This webinar, held in partnership between Times Higher Education and Digital Science, will feature leading voices across Australia who will share their strategies and insights for advancing research security. The panellists will explore how research communities can balance openness and protection while enabling progress and trust.
Topics for discussion will include:
- Driving changes in research security practices through institutional initiatives
