Professor Nalin Thakkar

Today we face a complex international environment and therefore new and changing potential risks. We all have a part to play in safeguarding our work here at Manchester – our colleagues in mitigating any risks they may face and our University in ensuring this is easily done.

As we launch our new Research Security Hub, Nalin Thakkar recounts his experience facing changes around his work and asks colleagues two questions:

  1. What’s been your experience so far? Have you faced any research security challenges in your own work and do you have any advice you’d share with colleagues? 
  2. How are we doing? What do you think of the support we provide especially through the Research Security Hub and how could we make it better?
