Is your research at risk?
– Tips on foreign interference and espionage for researchers and other staff from Ministry of Higher Education and Science and PET
We need to be better prepared
The level of technology, innovation and research is high in Denmark, and Danish re- search institutes cooperate internationally within these areas. This contributes to furthering the prominent position of Denmark within a number of high-tech areas. However, international competition is fierce within research, and Danish research may fall into the wrong hands.
Denmark benefits from most international research cooperation. However, some for- eign nations illegally procure knowledge, technology and products that Denmark is to live off in the long term or that may have an adverse effect in terms of security policy. Therefore, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) and the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science have made recommendations on how staff at re- search institutes may prevent and respond to foreign interference and espionage.
