DOES YOUR RESEARCH RAISE SECURITY CONCERNS?
STRATEGIES FOR PROMOTING RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH IN THE LIFE SCIENCES
ARCHIVED WEBCAST  
 
  Background:  
  On September 22, 2010, the U.S. government hosted the second in a series of Internet-based meetings aimed at engaging the international community by region. The focus of this event was Europe. It was hosted by the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) in partnership with the European Molecular Biology Organization, the European Science Foundation, the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, and Institut Pasteur. This webcast included both presentations and discussions by European and U.S. scientists on dual use research with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance and synthetic biology. Participants also examined various approaches to promoting the responsible conduct of research with dual use potential. The event was interactive, with panelists responding to questions submitted by viewers. View Full Archived Webcast
