March 12th 2026 at 14:00 -15:30 CET
Research security has quickly become a core topic for universities, research organisations, companies and funding stakeholders—shaping international collaboration, institutional risk management, and day-to-day research support.
In this webinar, a structured introduction to research security and practical insights from Austria and selected other EU Member States is provided. Given strong interest from practitioners, the webinar will also address research collaboration in international settings as a crosscutting theme - connecting policy developments with institutional practice and common questions around partnerships, due diligence, and risk awareness.

2nd webinar: AI and Cybersecurity – Opportunities and Risks
April 22th, 2026 at 10:00 - 11:30 CET
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems are revolutionizing the way humans interact with computers. However, when we enable GenAI systems to answer questions on our behalf, this also opens doors for new kinds of cybersecurity attacks. In this session we will see AI-agents in action helping with administrative tasks and for scientific question answering. We will also learn what attack-angles these systems potentially open to raise awareness. Finally, we will learn about measures that can be taken to keep AI-agents under control with state-of-the-art technology. See more: AI and Cybersecurity Opportunities and Risks
Speaker: Dr. Robert Haase (Leipzig University/TU Dresden)
