Research has never been more collaborative, international or technology-enabled. 

Whether collaborating internationally, sharing technical information, supervising students and visiting researchers, presenting at conferences or working with advanced technologies, researchers and institutions need to understand when Australia’s export controls may become relevant.

Certain individuals may also need to consider whether a Foreign Work Authorisation is required before undertaking particular work or training for, or on behalf of, a foreign military, government or government-controlled organisation.

The session will also include a brief presentation from the Defence Research, Innovation and Collaboration Security program, known as DRICS. DRICS supports secure collaboration between Defence and external partners involved in innovation, science and technology activities. The presentation will introduce the program and explain how it helps protect sensitive information, intellectual property and Australia’s national security interests.
