WVU will host a regional webinar, “Enhancing the Security and Integrity of America’s Research Enterprise” Oct. 1 from 10-11:15 a.m.
Kelvin Droegemeier, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, with support from the National Science Foundation, invited WVU and Fred King, vice president of research, to host the webinar focused on research security. Several research universities throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey will participate.
The 75-minute webinar will include time for questions and answers from the research community at WVU.
Droegemeier will provide an update on the activities undertaken by OSTP and others during the past several months, examples of risks to research security that can harm the enterprise, and steps being taken by OSTP and agency partners to address risks to security and integrity while maintaining an open and collaborative enterprise. A meteorologist, Droegemeier has also served on the National Science Board under the George W. Bush and Obama administrations.
The webinar will include a question-and-answer session with King and a welcome and introduction by WVU President Gordon Gee.
