One of the ambitions of the Biosecurity Office is to provide information on biosecurity, including biosecurity and dual-use topics, to students in life sciences throughout their studies.

In the past few years, disinformation has frequently made headlines. Disinformation can be used as a weapon.

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

There are regular reports being published that also address biosecurity.

When you think of dual-use, you might associate it with research on high-risk pathogens, but have you ever considered that dual-use research could also take place within the informatics department

What can you expect from the Biosecurity Office in the coming year?

The Biosecurity Knowledge Day took place some time ago, but we would like to take a moment to look back on this day.

On Monday 21 June 2021 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, the Biosecurity Office will organise the third webinar in the series “Biosecurity in Research”.

On Thursday April 22, the Biosecurity Office launched a new tool, the Dual-Use Quickscan (Dutch version).

During the second webinar on April 22, 2021, the Biosecurity Office suggested using the internationally recognized name Biorisk Management Advisor (BMA) instead of Biorisk Professional.
