Why attend

Scientific collaboration is essential to discovery—but governments are increasingly grappling with how to protect sensitive research while preserving openness. Navigating this tension between collaboration and research security is becoming one of the defining challenges for national research systems.

At Science at the Shine Dome, discussions will examine how integrated research intelligence platforms such as Dimensions and Altmetric can help policymakers and institutions better understand global collaboration networks, research influence, and emerging risks.

Join us

Anthony Dona, Senior Director for Government & Funders (APAC) at Digital Science, will share insights on how research intelligence can help leaders balance openness, collaboration, and research security.
