Identifying dual-use applications before commercialisation

The Research Policy, Governance and Integrity team is sharing the second of the NPSA Trusted Research scenario videos about identifying dual-use applications before commercialisation. The video touches on dual-use research, which requires export control due diligence, as well as the NSI Act, and it explains how proactively identifying dual-use applications of research can help researchers to protect their work, their IP and their reputation. Please use this video in your own communications in your Department or Faculty and include the resources below.
