Lijun, Shang (2023) 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. In: JRCT Funded workshop, 28 April 2023, London Metropolitan University. (Unpublished)
This small sized half day hybrid workshop will bring together experts from civil society and international organisations to have 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 and civil society. In particular, we will review the first meeting under the radical new Intersessional Process (ISP) held in March 2023 to organise the meetings that will take place later in this year and the following years through to the 10th Review Conference in 2028. Then we will discuss how civil society can contribute can to this new ISP in the light of the experiences in the earlier Inter Sessional Processes (ISPs). Finally, we hope to assess how science and technology review mechanism might be organised and how codes of conduct and education and training for scientists might best support the science and technology review in the new ISP. In summary, this workshop will be a space for general reflection especially on biological security education, the role of civil society expertise and a proposed roadmap for an international biological security education network.
