An important basis for keeping information secure is the manner in which you and your colleagues approach knowledge security, information security and privacy. Follow the e-learning modules, workshops and training courses so you know how to recognise situations and behaviour that are not secure and how to handle information and data securely.

Workshop
The Digital Competence Centre (DCC) offers courses and workshops to equip researchers and PhD candidates with essential knowledge and skills. Here is a sample of our offering:
- Handling personal data before, during and after your research
- Introduction to data anonymisation
- Archiving and publishing research data
E-learning cybercrime
Cybercriminals do everything they can to crack networks and get their hands on confidential information. They look for the weakest link in the security chain: often the employee. This makes you the most important link in our security chain!
The e-learning modules have been developed by SURF in collaboration with various universities (including Radboud University).
Handling personal data securely
In the e-learning ‘A very (ab)normal working day’, you can watch and listen in on a new colleague’s first day at work. You will be given tips along the way on how to handle personal data securely.

International cooperation, academic freedom and openness are of great importance. At the same time, it is important to consider the opportunities and risks that this cooperation entails. The Dutch government/Knowledge Security Desk (Rijksoverheid/Loket Kennisveiligheid) has made two e-learning courses available to help you make informed decisions about whether or not to cooperate.
Knowledge security, general
How do you weigh up the opportunities and (security) risks of international cooperation? The e-learning ( (in Dutch) from the Dutch government/Knowledge Security Desk will get you thinking. Situations relating to knowledge security are not black and white.
