Research Security is still relatively unknown in South America but is becoming increasingly prominent in discussions about international academic governance, making it a mandatory topic for any research institution aiming to internationalize. Examples of countries leading in Research Security include the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, and others.
But what exactly is Research Security? Simply put, it refers to a set of rules, principles, and strategies aimed at protecting scientific activity from interference by malicious actors (such as terrorists) and safeguarding the results of scientific endeavors.
By definition, it is clear that Research Security involves various fields: cybersecurity, biosafety and biosecurity, legal frameworks, export controls, governance, management, and, of course, research integrity.
To address this broad range of topics, SARSeC is composed of researchers and professionals from different fields and institutions across South America, all committed to academic freedom as a non-negotiable principle.
