Technology and trade controls are amongst the most pressing regulatory issues faced by universities and other research organisations today. On the one hand, governments worldwide are increasingly paying attention to how such controls are implemented in universities and how sensitive technology transfer risks are managed. On the other hand, research organisations are faced with uncertainty surrounding the security implications of emerging technologies coupled with a growth in applied and commercial research. They are further faced with the threats of potential research and technology theft, which are additional challenges that must be dealt with in today’s global research environment.

Consequently, it is now more important than ever for research organisations to be aware of the relevant legal requirements both within and beyond their own national borders. Research organisations must continue to strengthen their compliance efforts and find novel solutions to emerging challenges. To facilitate this and to support the sharing of best practice, the Centre for Science and Security Studies at King’s College London will host an online workshop series for research organisations and relevant government representatives.

This workshop is principally aimed at research organisation representatives responsible for research policy and governance, legal compliance, and export and technology controls. Relevant government officials involved in enforcing export control regulations are also welcome to attend.  

Three sessions will each focus on a key issue area in trade and technology control implementation specific to research organisations. Registration for this workshop is now closed and the list of participants is full.

These three sessions are as follows:

• Monday 29 March: Export Control, Sanctions & Immigration Regulations Across Jurisdictions
• Tuesday 30 March: Best Practice in Addressing Existing Technology Control Challenges
• Wednesday 31 March: Future Challenges in Technology Controls
