Queen’s University hosted its third Research Security Town Hall on April 22, 2025, bringing together researchers, administrators, and campus partners to deepen understanding of Canada’s evolving research security landscape. The half-day event, held in Stauffer Library and livestreamed via Microsoft Teams, featured a series of expert presentations and discussions on protecting research integrity in a global context.
Across Canada’s universities, the drive for open collaboration fuels discovery and innovation. Yet this same openness can expose researchers and institutions to growing global risks. Recognizing these challenges, Public Safety Canada’s Research Security Centre offers Safeguarding Science Workshops.
This series introduces best practices for building a security-conscious research environment, tools for identifying and mitigating risks, and guidance on recognizing “dual-use” technologies and innovations that can be applied for both beneficial and harmful purposes.

Online on Microsoft TeamsIn today’s digital landscape, a strong online presence is essential for research visibility, collaboration, and impact. WebPublish (or “WP3”) is Queen’s free, web-based content management system (CMS) for creating professional, secure, and accessible websites under the queensu.ca domain. This centrally managed platform ensures compliance with university brand standards, accessibility requirements, and web security best practices.
In this session, Robin Moon, Digital User Experience Manager (University Relations) introduced the WebPublish system and demonstrated how it can be used to create effective websites for labs, research projects, academic profiles, and events. Attendees gained practical strategies for writing and structuring content that is user-friendly, engaging, and accessible. This will help their research stand out to academic, student, and public audiences.
