BOKU University is committed to the highest standards of integrity and security in research and promotes responsible international cooperation. At the same time, we reflect on how the open exchange of knowledge can be responsibly balanced with the protection of sensitive information and technologies—particularly in the life and environmental sciences.
Research and knowledge security includes the proactive identification, assessment, and management of risks related to:
- the undesirable transfer of critical knowledge and technology
- malign foreign influence on research or researchers
- violations of scientific integrity or ethical standards
- international cooperation in research, technology, and innovation
The Research and Knowledge Security Team provides information and guidance on security-related issues, supports risk assessment in research projects, and strengthens secure research practices.
