23 Sep 2025
Register by September 22

In today's interconnected world, international partnerships are increasingly important for organizations to expand globally. But engaging with high-risk countries can pose political and cultural challenges, 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.
