Dialogic will also conduct a study in 2025 on knowledge security policy at Dutch universities, universities of applied sciences, and KNAW/NWO institutes. Good science cannot exist without international collaboration between knowledge institutions and researchers. At the same time, state actors are increasingly using knowledge as a tool of power. This leads to knowledge security risks such as the unwanted transfer of sensitive knowledge and technology, covert influence, and ethical issues. This poses a threat to Dutch interests, European values, and science itself.
Therefore, in January 2022, the Dutch knowledge sector and the Dutch government jointly published the National Guide for Knowledge Security, a guiding document for all knowledge institutions in the Netherlands. In 2023, Dialogic, together with Oberon, conducted a baseline assessment to determine the implementation of this guide. This assessment will be repeated this year.
Over the coming months, Dialogic will support all knowledge institutions in the Netherlands in completing a self-assessment. In the autumn, a number of case studies will take place. The report will be delivered to the client, the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science, at the end of 2025.
