By Kharon Staff

HEECA is now known as HERSA; references in this article reflect its name at the time of publication.

Kharon has entered a strategic partnership with the Higher Education Export Controls Association (HEECA), a UK-based network supporting research and economic security across universities. The collaboration brings Kharon’s advanced risk intelligence and analytics capabilities to higher education institutions navigating complex export control and research security challenges.

“Kharon is proud to have been selected to support UK universities by strengthening their research security and risk due diligence. Our collaboration with HEECA will aid in the proactive management of compliance risks while fostering an open academic environment where students, professors, and academic professionals can continue their critical work without disruption.” - Chris McDonagh, Vice President, Kharon
As part of the partnership, HEECA members receive preferential pricing on Kharon ClearView, enabling more informed investigations into individuals and entities tied to foreign government influence or trade restrictions. This collaboration supports efforts across the UK to reduce reliance on high-risk funding and better safeguard sensitive research.
