The Dutch government plans to introduce a vetting regime for researchers and students “who want to gain access to parts of Dutch knowledge institutions where they would gain access to sensitive technology.”. While the full details of the vetting are not currently established, the Dutch authorities intend to assess individuals’ educational, employment and family histories to identify risky relationships. The Dutch public broadcaster NOS reported that approximately 8,000 individuals will be screened each year according to the Ministry of Education — meaning the team making the assessments will have to check more than 30 individuals every working day.
