Shang, Lijun (2024) Toward a collaborative, collective and integrative international CBRN security education [workshop report]. In: Policy workshop, 16 March 2024, London Metropolitan University, London (UK). (Unpublished)
Although the need for biosecurity education has been regularly discussed in relation to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), there is a lack of global coordination between the different stakeholders involved. This lack of coordination prevents biosecurity education being part of an efficient global prevention of the malign use of research. In this report, we discuss the conclusions of a high-profile workshop titled ‘Toward a collaborative, collective and integrative international CBRN security education: Coordination of International Policy Initiatives on Biosecurity Education’ organised by the London Metropolitan University Biological Security Research Centre.
This workshop report contains the following three sections. Section 1 explains the main objective of the workshop and introduces the context of the event. Section 2 gives an in-depth analysis of global efforts in biosecurity education. This section is divided into five sub-categories, emphasising the current efforts in biosecurity education from the London Metropolitan University Biological Security Research Centre, other ongoing initiatives, efforts from International Organisations and the approaches of regional actors. It also raises the challenges faced by these actors in implementing biosecurity education. The last section highlights the urgent need for global coordination in biosecurity education and the significance of the International Biological Security Education Network.
