As a top global university, UBC partners and collaborates in ways that enrich the global research ecosystem and enhance societal well-being and economic growth. However, in a rapidly changing geopolitical context, researchers and scholars at UBC must assess and manage risks that emerge when research topics intersect with economic, political or strategic interests.
The UBC Research Security team supports UBC researchers and scholars to implement best practices in safeguarding research, and to navigate federal government policies and guidelines designed to protect publicly funded research and intellectual property from national security risks.
