Research security programs have matured quickly, and most now operate well at the project level: screening individual collaborations, assessing specific partners, and flagging risks on a case-by-case basis. But institutions are increasingly finding that this alone doesn’t answer the bigger question: what does our organisation look like as a whole?

Join us for a session exploring what it takes to move beyond project-level governance toward institutional intelligence, an organisation-wide understanding of research strengths, dependencies, and vulnerabilities. We’ll look at why isolated project reviews can miss patterns that only become visible at scale, and how institutions can build a clearer, evidence-based picture of their research landscape to support trusted openness rather than restrict it.

Join us to learn:

  • Why project-level governance is no longer enough
  • How leading organisations are approaching trusted openness
  • What institutional intelligence looks like in practice
  • How to identify emerging capability strengths and dependency risks

Who should attend

This webinar is relevant to anyone working in or around research security, research integrity, governance, compliance, international collaboration, or research management, including research security officers, compliance leaders, research office teams, international partnerships teams, funders, and government stakeholders.

Why attend

As research security expectations continue to evolve, institutions are being asked to think beyond individual projects and build a sustainable, organisation-wide approach. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how institutional intelligence can strengthen decision-making, support trusted collaboration, and help identify risk before it becomes a liability.
