Trusted Research principles are vital to data stewardship but often misunderstood. This webinar introduces TR and builds user understanding.

In partnership with Loughborough University and CaSDAR, NPSA and HEECA are delivering this inaugural webinar as a fantastic opportunity to introduce trusted research (TR) and begin to touch on how you as repository and data managers already are or could be involved in TR as part of your work. We aim to support you by recognising and highlighting the critical role and value you hold in delivering world-leading institutional research, whether this be ensuring compliance and mitigating security risks, dealing with commercial data, and much more. This webinar is the beginning of a wider package of work highlighting the significance of the repository/data community in TR. NCSC will also be present to provide information about cybersecurity.

Trusted Research supports the integrity of the system of international research collaboration, which is vital to the continued success of the UK’s research and innovation sector.

International research is vulnerable to misuse by organisations, institutions and individuals who operate on behalf of nations that seek to undermine the prevailing system of international research collaboration. Trusted Research seeks to protect that system from being undermined by those who might seek to abuse the principles of open science and academic freedom for their own gain.

Trusted Research is a joint National Protective Security Authority NPSA and National Cyber Security Centre NCSC campaign, developed with academic institutions and endorsed by key bodies within the sector. It helps the UK’s world-leading academic sector continue to get the most out of international scientific collaboration whilst protecting intellectual property, sensitive research and personal information from potential theft, misuse, or exploitation. It is run collaboratively with the sector and supports self-regulation and sector identification and ownership of risk.
