Faculty members, staff (i.e., Research staff, Safety Office staff, Research Ethics staff, and Information Systems & Technology staff involved in research using biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear materials or technology) and students, are invited to join Public Safety Canada (PSC) for the Safeguarding Science workshop.

The purpose of the PSC workshops, offered by Public Safety’s Research Security Centre, is to raise awareness within Canada's scientific and academic communities about research security-related issues.

The goal of the workshop is for participants to:

Access guidance and tools to strengthen their security posture
Understand best practices to identify and mitigate research security threats
Pursue and maintain safe research partnerships
Maintain institutional reputation as a safe research organization
Protect valuable research, data or potentially patentable property

Several virtual events are scheduled throughout the year. For upcoming dates and topics, visit Public Safety Canada's website.

Module 7: Conducting open-source due-diligence

This module provides an overview of open-source due-diligence techniques for researchers to use when evaluating the risks related to their potential partners. The outcome of this module will enhance researchers' ability to find relevant information using open-source methods.

For additional information about the workshop, please email The Research Security Centre.

AIMday Medical Imaging and Diagnostics Lisa Loiselle Fri, 10/04/2024 - 10:30

Join us on Thursday, November 28 for AIMday^TM Medical Imaging & Diagnostics. This virtual workshop offers a unique opportunity for organizations to engage with academic experts in meaningful dialogue, discussing ideas and charting new paths to address the industry’s challenges in enhancing image quality and accelerating diagnoses. Medical imaging facilitates the early detection and treatment of medical conditions, potentially saving lives. These technologies provide detailed information that informs treatment plans, guides surgical interventions and enables follow-up by monitoring treatment efficacy. Despite their benefits, there is significant room for improvement to provide quicker diagnoses and real-time information during surgery.
