Description
‘Knowledge security’ (kennisveiligheid in Dutch) has been increasingly used in the discourse about international research collaboration. Knowledge security can be described as ‘preventing the undesirable transfer of sensitive knowledge and technology’. Following the Dutch government’s announcement to strengthen knowledge security, the Universities of the Netherlands (UNL/VSNU) developed its guidelines to assist universities. In 2022, the National Knowledge Security Guidelines were issued for Dutch universities and other knowledge institutions. While knowledge security is a multi-faceted term, it has also appeared at an EU-level publication in connection to ‘foreign interference’. Against this background, this dialogue seminar will take a critical look at the concept and implications of knowledge security in universities
