Join institutional leaders for a timely discussion on research security

Join Professor Akram Alshwabkeh, Senior Vice Provost for Research at Northeastern University; Dr. Paul Anderson, Chief Academic Officer at Mass General Brigham; Attain Partners; and the NSF SECURE Center for an executive-level discussion focused on the evolving research security landscape.
Designed for Vice Presidents for Research, Chief Academic Officers, and other executive leaders, this interactive discussion will explore emerging research security risks, potential changes following the midterm elections, and how institutions can strengthen their approach to research security while supporting an open and collaborative research environment.
Attendees will hear perspectives on the post-midterm outlook for research and research security in the U.S., learn about resources available through the NSF SECURE Center, and participate in a discussion on an executive research security dashboard designed to help institutional leaders better understand and navigate research security priorities.
