A new e-learning platform has been launched and financed by the European Union (EU) as part of the EU Targeted Initiative on CBRN Export Control on Dual-Use Materials and Intangible Technologies that was implemented through the International Science and Technology Center.

The platform, available at CIRNGO E-Learning (www.cirngo.org/elearning), provides a centralized hub of information and resources specifically designed for universities and the scientific community. Prior to this initiative, information on export controls was scattered across various official websites and organizations. This fragmentation often left researchers and institutions without a unified source of guidance. The new platform bridges this gap, offering a comprehensive resource that consolidates regulatory frameworks, practical guidelines, and essential information for both the scientific and business communities.

The project was meticulously implemented in several stages. Initially, essential materials were collected and translated to ensure the platform provides accurate and thorough information on the export control of dual-use items. The materials gathered include official documents, and direct links to critical laws and decisions. Additionally, information on authorized bodies and previous related programs was compiled, offering users direct access to valuable resources and historical insights.

The launch of this platform marks a significant advancement in making critical information readily available to the scientific and business communities. By promoting responsible research and innovation, the platform simplifies the complex landscape of export control regulations and fosters a collaborative learning environment. Users from various backgrounds can engage with and benefit from the information provided.

User feedback and the ability to ask questions are integral to the platform's success. The discussion forums allow users to seek clarification, share insights, and receive answers from experts, enhancing the learning process. Regular feedback collected during testing ensured the platform met user needs and expectations, resulting in a high-quality user experience. This approach sets a new standard for digital learning in the field of export control, paving the way for safer and more informed scientific advancements. The careful preparation and development process has resulted in a robust, user-friendly platform that will serve as a valuable resource for the scientific and business communities, promoting compliance and responsible innovation.
