The National Security and Investment Act: guidance for universities

Last updated on Tuesday 20 Dec 2022 at 10:27pm

The National Security and Investment (NSI) Act came into effect on 4 January 2022. It gives the government the right to look into and sometimes ban certain business transactions that involve sectors of the economy seen as sensitive to national security.

Our briefing is designed for university staff working in legal compliance or research roles. It is a very technical document that will help you understand:

how the NSI Act works
how the NSI Act will impact universities
how to take action to ensure that your university complies with the NSI Act

Learn more about what the NSI Act is and what it means for universities over on the Universities UK International blog.
