Biosafety & Biosecurity Projects

Most life scientists probably do not have malicious intents, but it is important that they have sufficient awareness about biosafety and biosecurity to work safe and secure. This requires an institutionalised biorisk management system in an organisation. RIVM developed several assessment and awareness raising tools to support implementation of biosafety and biosecurity measures, as well as several training programmes on biorisk management. We apply the experience gained for applications in a national setting to support other countries in strengthening and or/implementing biosafety, biosecurity and biorisk management policies in the context of several international frameworks, with a strong, but not limited focus on Eastern European and Central Asian countries and the African region.
