Welcome to GO4BSB
The German Online Platform for Biosecurity & Biosafety (GO4BSB) is the e-learning platform of the projects of the German Biosecurity Programme. The Programme was launched in 2013 by the Federal Foreign Office under the auspices of the G7 Global Partnership against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction.
Who we areGO4BSB is a project of the German Biosecurity Programme and is a collaborative initiative of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the Bundeswehr Institute for Microbiology (IMB), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, Island of Riems (FLI), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and is coordinated by the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM). More information on the partner institutes and the German Biosecurity Programme can be found here: Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) Bundeswehr Institute for Microbiology (IMB) Friedrich Loeffler Institut, Federal Research Institute for Animal Health (FLI) Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
What we doGO4BSB has been established to support the projects of the German Biosecurity Programme. It contributes to the overarching Programme aim of raising awareness and minimising risks associated with highly pathogenic agents by:
