Initiatives to bolster research security in the EU, advanced by the European Commission on October 28, will soon filter down to researchers setting up projects. These initiatives include a due diligence platform designed to help researchers assess risks associated with international cooperation, as well as a centre of expertise on research security within the Commission, expected to be operational by mid-2026.

According to Claire Gray, senior policy officer at the League of European Research Universities (LERU), the research community has been seeking support for due diligence for quite some time. “It is challenging to know where to find information relating to risks in international collaborations,” she explained. “There are a range of commercial tools available, but all of these come at a cost, and none cover the area sufficiently well.”

She also pointed out resources such as the China Defence Universities Tracker, highlighting the need for more comprehensive and accessible tools to support researchers in navigating complex international partnerships.
