Here you will find key resources such as sanctions and embargo lists, risk assessment forms, checklists, and guidelines related to research and knowledge security.
These materials help researchers comply with legal requirements and identify potential risks in collaborations at an early stage.

BOKU Guidelines

Existing BOKU guidelines help you navigate topics related to research and knowledge security (some are available in German only).

EU documents on research security

The EU has developed some strategy papers, guidelines, and lists that provide practical guidance on research and knowledge security.

Sanctions lists

Sanctions lists are a strong risk indicator for international research collaborations, because they provide government‑verified information on restricted or sanctioned individuals, organizations, and countries.

Dual-use and export control

Export controls ensure that goods, software, and technologies with civilian and potentially military applications (dual use) are used, shared, and transferred in compliance with the law. Early checks help prevent legal violations, project delays, and reputational damage (some of these are available in German only).
