Shang, Lijun (2024) Lessons learned from INSEN and beyond. In: Interdisciplinary Nuclear Disarmament Symposium, 6 Dec 2024, Bradford University. (Unpublished)
Established in 2010, as an essential component of the IAEA’s nuclear security programme, INSEN dedicates to promote education and training in the area of nuclear security. With the rapid advances in technologies and life science, biological security is now similarly at a defining moment as nuclear security 15 years ago. The mandate of the 2022 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) 9th Review Conference emphasised the urgent need for new tools to strengthen the Convention. This paper reviews the development and work of the International Nuclear Security Education Network (INSEN) in order to draw examples of best practice for the implementation of the newly founded International Biological Security Education Network (IBSEN). With our new initiative to build up IBSEN, we believe that continuous engagement of its members, development of different materials fitting to different stakeholders, and adopt of new methodologies are essential to develop global biosecurity education.
