Trusted Research and Assurance May Surgery
The Trusted Research Team welcome you to join our May informational Surgery!

University research is facing increasing scrutiny from the UK Government and research funders in relation to security, ethical, financial, and reputational risk. A range of measures have been rolled out to address risk in international research collaborations, such as legislation, advice services, and support to universities in their due diligence processes. Actions include the export control regulatory framework and the National Security and Investments Act, as well as the tightening of funder terms and conditions.

To help departments navigate the changing landscape of Trusted Research, Research Services regularly host a series of Trusted Research & Assurance Surgeries. These surgeries are open to researchers, departmental support staff, divisional representatives, and RS colleagues to discuss all aspects of Trusted Research and Assurance including export control, NSIA, and due diligence on international collaborations.

To ensure your session meets your and your department’s needs, we ask that you clarify your particular area of interest upon booking: * Export Control as it relates to your department
