Research Security (May 15, 2025)
International collaboration and global engagement are needed for the advancement of science and innovation. Research security is a framework of requirements, principles, and risk management protocols, intended to protect scientific research, the intellectual property involved, and the products that result from that research.
In this webinar we introduced key concepts in international collaborations and research security as well as tools and processes Temple has, and will implement, to mitigate risk and facilitate compliance with applicable regulations.
