At the International Biosecurity Symposium 2025, the Biosecurity Office launched a new tool: the Dual-use Infographic.

Recently, it was reported in the news that two researchers in the US are suspected of illegally importing a fungus that can cause significant damage to agricultural crops.

The Biosecurity Office looks back with great enthusiasm on a successful first edition of the International Biosecurity Symposium.

Last year, the Biosecurity Office developed the 'Dual-Use Quickscan'. This new online tool has been available in Dutch and English since the spring.

Here we present another current scenario with regard to biosecurity. This time it is a scenario about cyber attacks.

Before the corona crisis, the Biosecurity Office regularly attended meetings abroad with the aim of sharing knowledge, gaining knowledge and networking.

On Thursday, April 22, 2021, the Biosecurity Office will organize the second webinar of the series of webinars 'Biosecurity in Research'.

This fourth edition of the WHO Laboratory biosafety manual builds on the risk assessment framework introduced in the third edition.

Every newsletter we will outline a current scenario with regard to biosecurity.
