Global Cybersecurity & AI Research Center
Advance research-led AI governance, cybersecurity policy and digital resilience for institutions.
Mandate & purpose
Why this centre matters.
Advance research-led AI governance, cybersecurity policy and digital resilience for institutions. The Global Cybersecurity & AI Research Center is a priority centre mandate within GRS Group. Its purpose is to connect credible research on digital trust and emerging technology with the decisions, institutions and communities that can use it.
Portfolio status: Priority portfolio. This describes the centre’s research direction and does not claim a staffed programme or completed projects.
Research agenda
Priority questions to investigate.
Question 02
Which measures reveal cyber and digital resilience across institutional systems?
Question 03
How do data governance and emerging technology policy affect public trust?
Thematic scope
Seven interconnected domains.
The themes below provide a starting scope. Individual studies would narrow their questions, populations, geography and methods in a written project brief.
- Responsible AI governance
- Cybersecurity governance
- Digital resilience
- Data governance
- Emerging technologies
- Technology risk
- AI policy and readiness
Evidence programme
How the centre would work.
Map the evidence
Research on institutional AI readiness, technology governance, policy options and digital risk indicators. The first step is to establish what is known, where evidence is weak and which decisions require better information.
Build meaningful indicators
Identify data sources, definitions and limitations relevant to digital trust and emerging technology. Any comparison should account for local context and avoid unsupported rankings.
Translate into action
Co-develop practical options with universities, digital policy bodies and technology governance networks; specify who can act, what resources are needed and how outcomes could be reviewed.
Knowledge products
Outputs matched to the question.
Depending on a project’s scope and review requirements, possible outputs include evidence briefs, comparative studies, indicator notes, policy briefs, institutional guidance and research reports. Outputs are added to the publications section only after completion and approval.
See the Group publication approachPartnership & participation
Build the agenda with relevant institutions.
Potential collaborators include universities, digital policy bodies and technology governance networks. Partnership proposals can focus on a defined evidence gap, a comparative study, a joint publication or a practical research system. Researchers and reviewers can register their interest through the central GRS network.
Governance & quality
One shared standard of care.
A project would be scoped, scientifically reviewed and assessed for ethics, data protection, conflicts of interest and publication quality before external release. Sensitive, human-participant or sector-specific work requires safeguards and permissions suited to the study.
