Why Should I Attend?
Export control carries legal implications for your institution. If you or others on your campus travel overseas, export items, collaborate with foreign scholars or conduct export-controlled research, you won't want to miss this opportunity to revisit what is and is not allowable under export control law. It is essential that your institution be knowledgeable about how export control affects the work on your campus so that you can establish practices to avoid the risk of violating export control laws.
Webinar Content
While export control laws apply throughout the business world and academia, this webinar specifically focuses on export control issues that pertain to educational institutions. In this webinar, you will learn about how fundamental research is defined under the law and how to determine what qualifies as fundamental research, ancillary issues pertaining to fundamental research, elements of a technology control plan, what requires licensing, and the policies and procedures you should have in place to address export controls. Join Abigail Walsh, Doreen Edelman, and David Ivey as they highlight what the legal implications are and what your institution can do to protect itself.
Webinar Objectives
Following the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Build your institution's capacity to protect itself from export control violations.
- Determine what does and does not classify as fundamental research.
- Establish a precedent for handling export control issues.
