What we do

GO4BSB 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:

• Raising awareness about biological risks, including the potential misuse of pathogens, toxins, biosecurity-sensitive information and technology
• Providing e-learning tools and materials, which enable learning about responsible conduct in the life sciences and management of biological risks
• Enabling interdisciplinary scientific exchange
