Shang, Lijun (2025) IBSEN fifth quarterly newsletter - July 2025. [Serial]
This issue’s Special Topic explores the increasing trend towards hands-on, participatory modes of biosecurity education that are linking traditional learning with leadership development. In addition, we highlight key themes of accessibility, engagement and empowerment to expand the reach and impact of biosecurity education. Underpinning this, is the conviction that building a universal, self-sustaining culture of responsibility in the life sciences depends on providing opportunities for diverse communities, particularly in under-resourced settings.
Two major initiatives are spotlighted as examples of this broader trend: the Youth for Biosecurity Fellowship (Y4B), led by the Biological Weapons Convention Implementation Support Unit (BWC ISU) and the BWC Advanced Education Course (BWCEdu) for diplomats, coordinated by UNIDIR, the Diplo Foundation, and the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique.
This Quarterly Newsletter also details the large number of exciting activities undertaken by LMU BSRC staff, as well as our forthcoming side event at the Sixth Meeting of the Working Group on Strengthening the BTWC, scheduled for August, and future workshops planned for later this year. The section News in Global Biosecurity Education is designed for this purpose.
