SA Chapter In-Person Event: The ABC of CFI (Countering Foreign Interference) & Networking Session

The ABC of CFI (Countering Foreign Interference) – Awareness, Balancing the Benefits, and Countering the Adverse Effects of International Collaboration in Research

The SA Chapter of ARMS is pleased to host a forum with speakers exploring the fundamentals of countering foreign interference in research and international collaborations.
 
Join us for the afternoon on Tuesday 22nd November at 3.00pm for two hours of exploring the current policy and legislative environment for universities and researchers. We will hear from the Department of Home Affairs and people at our local universities who are advising researchers and administrators on what to be aware for, how to balance the benefits and counter the potential problems. When does influence and collaboration become interference?
 
Come ready with your questions, experiences or to network with your research management colleagues.

The event will be followed by a networking event for all SA ARMS Members. Come for drinks and nibbles at the bar in the Stamford Plaza Hotel 5.00pm to 7.00pm, even if you can’t make the afternoon session.
