Description

Managing undue foreign influence in the academic environment has proven to be a challenge for both government agencies and university campuses alike. Foreign talent recruitment programs, Confucius Institutes, and non-traditional collectors have all been highlighted as ways in which foreign governments have either improperly acquired intellectual property, or inappropriately influenced certain campus activities that are contrary to existing rules and research integrity principles.

This webinar introduces current foreign influence concerns, available disclosure practices, industry best practice suggestions, and some newly released government directives that will impact future guidance.
