Description
Safeguarding Science Module 8 - Protecting Knowledge: Research Security in Social Sciences and Humanities
The Research Security Centre is proud to announce the launch of a new module titled Protecting Knowledge: Research Security in Social Sciences and Humanities.
This eighth module highlights the importance of research security in the social sciences and humanities for analyzing and managing complex security-related situations. It examines key threat areas, including foreign influence, harassment and the misuse of sensitive research data. The module also illustrates how social science data, when misused, can be employed to shape public opinion, intensify surveillance or support coercive practices that violate human rights. Through case studies and concrete examples, it helps participants deepen their understanding of the risks inherent to research in the social sciences and humanities.
