Universities, research institutions and scientists also develop know-how and technologies that have dual use, i.e. can be used for civil and military purposes and are subject to restrictions under foreign trade law to protect security interests. Restrictions that may play a role in the scientific field - outside of already generally accessible knowledge and basic research - such as international research cooperation, collaboration with visiting scientists, the shipment of scientific equipment abroad or even luggage, as well as the transfer of knowledge and data or publications. It's necessary to check whether activities are prohibited or subject to approval under foreign trade law.
