Neth-ER, TNO and KNAW cordially invite you to join the forthcoming on-site event ‘Knowledge Security in Research: threats, intervention modes and the way forward’ on Tuesday the 28th of March from 15:00-17:30.


Invitation for on-site event ‘Knowledge Security in Research’

Knowledge security in research

Carrying out state-of-the art research is not possible without international cooperation. This provides both opportunities and risks for knowledge institutions, due to their inherently open character. Knowledge security in research revolves around the balancing act between these opportunities and risks.
 

This event aims to explore how knowledge institutions, policymakers and other stakeholders address the security aspects of international research collaboration by exchanging information and best practices.
 

Topics that will be addressed include:

•             The importance of knowledge security in research for knowledge institutions
•             Common threats and possible intervention modes
•             Policy responses at EU and national level

Programme 

•             Introductory statement by moderator Sabine van Gastel, Export Control Officer, TNO

•             European policy context – Mirko van Muijen & Slaven Misljencevic, Policy Officers RTD.F.2 and
              RTD.A.3, Directorate-General Research & Innovation, European Commission

•             Threats and risks of international research collaboration – Dutch Ministry of
               the Interior and Kingdom Relations


•             Policy considerations for knowledge security in research – Eppo Bruins, chairman Dutch
              Advisory council for science, technology and innovation (AWTI)
