Heightened security concerns present challenges for research projects in several countries, both nationally and regionally. All new project applications are required to include a risk assessment and, if relevant, mitigating measures and contingency plans to ensure the physical safety of the involved project participants from Denmark and partnering countries.
For examples of relevant safety measures to be considered by projects operating in high risk settings or research fields, follow this link
