Objective: In recent years, there have been rapid advances in life sciences that promise
significant contributions to health, food, and energy policy outcomes. Yet, there
are concerns that the science and technology (S&T) that enables these benefits may
also be used to develop new bioweapons or facilitate bioterrorism. These advances
present fundamental challenges to national and international institutions focused
on preventing the misuse of S&T. This project assesses new developments in S&T
and their potential biosecurity implications. Through collaboration among several
scientific organizations, the project will reach a broad audience of international
security and S&T professionals in advance of the Eighth Review of the Biological
Weapons Convention (BWC) in 2016 in Geneva. |
