Description

Public Safety Canada’s Research Security Centre offers Safeguarding Science online training modules to raise awareness about research security. Developed in collaboration with federal partners, these modules introduce key concepts such as dual-use technologies, vulnerabilities, exploitation practices, threat vectors, and relevant laws and regulations. They also provide guidance on best practices for security-conscious research, geopolitical awareness, and tools to help identify and mitigate risks to Canadian research, researchers, and institutions. 

The Safeguarding Science training modules are intended for all – regardless of academic domain. This includes researchers, research staff (including technicians, postdoctoral fellows, and students), research security professionals, research administrators, information technology and information management staff, security personnel, biosafety and radiological safety officers, human resources personnel, supply chain personnel, and senior management.
