Obligation for affiliates at Aalborg University

Everyone affiliated with Aalborg University is obligated to comply with the legislation on export control and sanctions. This includes any university employee regardless of employment group (both scientific and administrative staff), any student enrolled in a study at the university, and any guest researcher or guest student. Nationality or country of origin is irrelevant for the aforementioned obligation to comply with the legislation.

Export Control and Sanctions at Aalborg University

When AAU collaborates internationally, there are a number of export restrictions and sanctions that we must comply with. In most cases, the relevant legislation is national or issued by EU institutions. When relevant, it is also necessary to comply with export control and sanctions issued by the USA.

The Contract Unit supports the university's faculties and departments in ensuring that AAU complies with these rules. This is done, among other things, by conducting export risk assessments when AAU enters into agreements on international collaboration in selected research areas.

Definitions of Terms

Export control of dual-use goods

Catch-all control

Catch-all is an additional safety net in dual-use export control. Products that are not listed on the dual-use control list can sometimes still be used for the development and production of weapons of mass destruction, military applications, or human rights violations.

As exporters, we need to be particularly vigilant if:

We have been made aware that the products in question are or may be intended, in whole or in part, for use in connection with weapons of mass destruction.
We have been made aware that the products in question are or may be intended, in whole or in part, for military use in a country subject to an international arms embargo.
