The Research Compliance Services Office is presenting an opportunity to learn more about Export Controls – Dec. 11, noon-1 p.m. (lunch provided) at the Nebraska Union Colonial Room.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers engage in a broad range of innovative and important research both in the United States and abroad. These activities include the sharing and development of products, goods, hardware, software, or materials, as well as research involving technology that may be subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. While our primary mission is education, research and service, the responsibility remains to balance the service of this mission with safeguarding national assets through the adherence to export regulations, rules and laws of the U.S. Government.
Presentations will include:
*Regulations and Resources: UNL’s Export Control Coordinator, Lissette Gilster, will be providing an overview of how to navigate export controls at UNL.
*Data and Security: Experts from NU OneIT will be providing an overview of information and data security requirements along with Microsoft Office 365 US Gov, a new resource for managing communication and storage of controlled data and information.
*FBI Counterintelligence & Strategic Partnerships: FBI Special Agent Robert Georgi will be discussing areas of concern and how best to protect your research. Georgi has worked in the Omaha Division of the FBI since 2008, and his Bureau career has included station assignments in West Virginia and New Mexico. Prior to his Bureau career, Georgi was an officer in the United States Army.
