As international collaboration becomes an essential part of academic research, it's vital to understand how to protect yourself and your work when engaging in international research activities.
To help you navigate the evolving landscape of international research governance, the University has created a 15minute video highlighting the key risks, responsibilities, and compliance requirements you need to be aware of: watch the video (Sussex login required).
Sam Kuhn, Senior International Governance Officer, said: “Collaborating internationally is fundamental to delivering world-class research, but we would never want our research to be used against us or used to harm others.Even if you're confident in your current practices, taking a moment to refresh your knowledge now could save you significant time and risk in the future.”
