Abstract

Particular thanks were given to the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust Foundation (JRCT) that funded this workshop titled: Learning from the Past and Looking to the Future after Review Conference: Integrating NGO work on Codes of Conduct and an International Biological Security Education Network into the next BTWC Intersessional Process, which was held at London Metropolitan University on 28 April 2023.

The small sized half day hybrid workshop organised by Professor Lijun Shang and Professor Malcolm Dando with the help from Miss Olivia Ibbotson brought together 25 invited experts in their personal capacities from civil society and international organisations. The meeting was for an informal brainstorm after the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) 9th Review Conference of December 2022 and the start of new venture for the BTWC at its first meeting under the radical new Intersessional Process (ISP) held in March 2023 which outlined how to organise the meetings that will take place later in this year and the following years through to the 10th Review Conference in 2028. The meeting was held under Chatham House Rules, and this report was compiled from a recording of the workshop and written notes taken by Mr Lincoln Sheff. The Workshop Report is the sole responsibility of the three authors and does not necessarily reflect a consensus of the workshop as a whole.
