Session Information:

Objectives: The purpose of the Safeguarding Science workshop is to raise awareness within Canada’s scientific and academic communities about research-security related issues. The primary objective of this workshop is to explain the potential for misuse of dual-use research, technology, and materials, along with possible risk indicators and mitigation tools to protect Canadian research assets. An additional scenario-based session further provides an opportunity for participants to apply the information shared in the presentation and to discuss strategies to work through research security problems. There are no right or wrong answers, and the session is conducted in an open and frank environment. The role of the presenter is strictly to facilitate a discussion amongst the participants, and if needed, offer guidance to help steer the discussion. Presenter: Erin Dorgan is the regional advisor for the prairies in the Government of Canada’s recently established Research Security Centre. In this role, she helps ensure universities and researchers have access to research security awareness, guidance, and resources. Date: Monday, October 6, 2025 | 11:00 to 12:30 pm Venue: This is a Hybrid event. In-person: SA8003 Zoom link: will be sent via email.
