Instead of the Biosecurity Knowledge Day, the Biosecurity Office is organizing a series of webinars this year. The theme of these webinars is "Biosecurity in Research".

The Biosecurity Office regularly attends meetings abroad with the aim of sharing knowledge, acquiring knowledge and networking.

On November 14, 2019, the sixth Biosecurity Knowledge Day took place in which colleagues from all over the country gathered to discuss biosecurity from different perspectives.
