This study addresses the pressing issue of foreign influence risks in academic and research institutions, crucial hubs for innovation and technological progress. In navigating the delicate balance between openness and national interests, the research focuses on dependencies on foreign resources, technologies, and intellectual property. Employing a comprehensive methodology, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study conducts a systematic literature review and comparative analysis across countries and regions. The findings, validated through qualitative content analysis and triangulation, offer practical insights to enhance internal due diligence processes and establish screening measures. The aim is to protect research autonomy amidst financial dilemmas, technological dependencies, and intelligence vulnerabilities. In a rapidly evolving global landscape, these recommendations contribute to safeguarding national security and maintaining a competitive edge.
