Understand the Risks, Responsibilities, and Best Practices for Secure, Ethical Research
In today’s global research environment, protecting the integrity, security, and ethical foundations of your work is more important than ever. This short, accessible course introduces the principles of Trusted Research—a practical framework that helps researchers, institutions, and industry partners identify and manage risks in research collaboration, particularly in international contexts.
Designed for beginners and busy professionals, this course is ideal for anyone working in or supporting research who needs a clear understanding of the risks, responsibilities, and best practices involved in Trusted Research. Whether you’re an academic, research support officer, or part of a commercial research partnership, you’ll gain essential insights to support secure and responsible research activity.
Through bite-sized videos, visual explainers, case studies, and interactive exercises, you’ll explore:
What Trusted Research is and why it matters
Legal, ethical and security risks in research
Applying Trusted Research in both domestic and international settings
Key regulations including GDPR, Export Controls and the NSI Act
Escalation procedures, resources, and risk mitigation strategies
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to recognise and respond to research-related risks with confidence. If you want to build on this foundation, our Advanced Trusted Research module offers a deeper dive into practical implementation, complex case studies, and high-risk scenarios.
