Increased government scrutiny of cross-border university research relationships, tightened export controls on technologies, and strengthened national regimes regulating technology-related foreign direct investment are now priorities for most democracies. These policy changes are motivated by the common goal of shoring up economic and national security. But the approaches are neither uniform nor harmonized, even among the relatively homogeneous G7 nations, undermining cross-border research and development (R&D) collaboration. When the leaders of G7 meet in late June in Schloss Elmau, Germany, they should make it a priority to coordinate controls on knowledge flows and technology. They need to act together to demonstrate how democracies can counter illicit activities for acquiring technologies.

G7：平衡安全与协作

加强政府对跨境大学研究关系的审查、加强对技术的出口管制以及加强监管与技术相关的外国直接投资的国家制度现在是大多数民主国家的优先事项。这些政策变化的动机是支持经济和国家安全的共同目标。但这些方法既不统一也不协调，即使在相对同质的 G7 国家之间也是如此，这破坏了跨境研发 (R&D) 合作。当七国集团领导人于 6 月下旬在德国 Schloss Elmau 举行会议时，他们应该将协调对知识流动和技术的控制作为优先事项。他们需要共同行动，展示民主国家如何打击非法获取技术的活动。
