ISDP opens the Stockholm Center for Research and Innovation Security (SCRIS)

January 22, 2025: ISDP is excited to announce the launch of the Stockholm Center for Research and Innovation Security (SCRIS).

As global research and innovation face growing threats from misuse that harms security or violates ethical norms, the SCRIS will serve as an independent and sustainable thematic center at the ISDP to address these threats and advance solutions.

The SCRIS is an independent and sustainable thematic center at the ISDP. With an international focus on cooperation between the U.S., EU, Indo-Pacific, and likeminded nations, particularly in the Nordic and Baltic regions, it aims to create an environment of awareness over concerned topics such as appropriation of know-how and proprietary information and its impact on the economic development of individual nations. The center’s research and activities focus on issues of securitization within Innovation, Critical Technology, IP protection, Technology transfer, R & D, and Manufacturing.

The SCRIS will host open conferences, webinars, and fireplace discussions to raise awareness about its key issues, offering a global platform where important findings can be shared with a wider audience. Soon, the center will launch its digital Research and Innovation Series (RIS) where it will bring together scholars and experts from diverse fields and backgrounds.
