Webinar | Building Strategic International Partnerships
In today's interconnected world, international partnerships are increasingly important for organizations expanding globally. However, engaging with high-risk countries can pose challenges, including political and cultural differences and security risks. Canada’s National Security Guidelines for Research Partnerships (NSGRP) help protect the integrity of research activities, especially in engineering. This session focuses on initiating and managing partnerships with high-risk countries, shares key lessons and recommendations, and explores how the NSGRP impacts engineering firms and academic researchers in Canada.
This session will be held through Zoom.
