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.

During the second webinar, various tools and resources were presented to increase biosecurity awareness within your organization.

Here we present another current scenario with regard to biosecurity. This time it is a scenario about unexpected scientific results. Is this scenario recognizable?
