International Research Safeguards
What are International Research Safeguards?
The Australian government protects and safeguards Australian technology and information, and that of key partners, via the administration of legislation surrounding Export Controls, Sanctions and Critical Technology. These pieces of legislation aim to control the flow of goods and information between Australia and international entities while supporting economic prosperity and research collaboration.
International Research Safeguards refers to the framework set up by Monash University to manage the university's obligations under the various legislation concerning export. The Research Compliance Team within the Monash University Office of Research Ethics and Integrity (OREI) strives to help researchers understand and meet their IRS responsibilities.
