CESAER joined forces with the governments of United States, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, as well as the International Science Council and the European Commission to organise a workshop on research security in the context of global cooperation under increasing geopolitical tensions.

The multilateral dialogue on values and principles for research and innovation, launched by the European Commission in July 2022, seeks to foster open discussions among EU member states, more than thirty key partner countries, stakeholder groups, and international organisations. The aim is to develop a mutual understanding of these principles and values, establishing a reliable basis for international cooperation in research and innovation. A series of workshops has been undertaken as part of this initiative.

The seventh workshop of the series, held on 7 December 2023, focused on research security. Alongside the governments of the United States, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, as well as the International Science Council and the European Commission, CESAER contributed to the organisation of this workshop and actively contributed to its smooth running on the day.
