The Biosecurity Office has developed various tools that can help you increase biosecurity awareness. Besides an informative film, you can also think of floating racks for micro-centrifuge tubes, postcards and the 10 golden security rules. The Biosecurity Self-scan Toolkit and the Vulnerability Scan are online tools to analyze biosecurity vulnerabilities in your organization. The Dual-Use Quickscan is a tool with which you can identify potential dual-use aspects in research. In addition, this tool contributes to stimulating dual-use awareness.
Self-scan Toolkit
The self-scan toolkit is a relatively fast scan with a limited number of closed questions that can easily form an indication of strong and weak biosecurity aspects within your organisation.

Vulnerability Scan
The vulnerability scan is a more extended scan compared with the self-scan toolkit with questions, scenarios and best practices built around the eight pillars of biosecurity. More information.

Information film
This film provides an introduction into eight pillars of good practice for biosecurity, that are important when implementing biosecurity control measures.
Dual-use animation
This animated video explains the various concepts related to dual-use and export control.
The video is intended for students and professionals in the life sciences who deal with biosecurity, biosafety and dual-use aspects.
Infographic dual-use
This infographic provides a clear overview of the various phases within the dual-use risk assessment cycle. On the back of the infographic, there is a set of targeted questions designed for BMAs to use during discussions with researchers. Available in English and Dutch.
E-learning
The Biosecurity Office offers two e-learning courses in English specially developed for students, introducing you to the key principles of biosecurity and dual-use in the life sciences.
Biosecurity Escape Room
The Biosecurity Escape Room is an interactive experience where teams solve a laboratory scenario to raise awareness of biosecurity, dual-use, and related risks.
Available in Dutch and coming soon in English.
