Background screening of candidates and guests from Russia, China and Iran

Background screening of candidates and guests from Russia, China and Iran 

Whenever you plan to hire a candidate or invite a guest from Russia, China and Iran, a background screening of the candidate/guest must be completed before the candidate can be invited for an interview and offered a position or being invited as a guest. 

This is due to the three countries being listed as “high risk countries” by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) in relation to security in international research and innovation collaboration (this is also called the URIS-guidelines).
