Research Security Amidst Great Power Competition

United States administrations and US allies, including Israel, face structural and resource challenges in protecting the security and integrity of research and innovation in the face of China’s all-of-country efforts to “introduce, digest, absorb, and re-innovate” their achievements for modernizing their military. These efforts also seek to realize Beijing’s ambition to make China the dominant global actor across all high-end and strategic technologies by mid-century. Institutions in the academic and private sectors are ill-equipped to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to research and innovation. Tuvia Gering is joined by Dr. Glenn Tiffert, co-chair of the Hoover Institute’s China’s Global Sharp Power initiative, and Jeff Stoff, director of the Center for Research Security and Integrity (CRSI), to discuss their extensive work on how institutions can protect research security and integrity while maintaining a healthy relationship with China.
