Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:
"Openness and international cooperation are at the core of great science and innovation, but they also make it particularly vulnerable to security threats. With these recommendations, the EU responds to the calls for clarity and guidance from researchers and innovators. We will work together to safeguard sensitive knowledge from being misused, supporting research organisations in fulfilling their responsibilities while protecting academic freedom and building a resilient ecosystem".
