Meeting of minds on governance of synthetic biosecurity issues

From 7-10 July 2019, EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland) hosted the NATO ARW Security and Resilience for Emerging Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology Threats. Seventy participants including policy makers, professionals, academics, do-it-yourself activists and civil society representatives from NATO countries discussed top-down and bottom-up governance and technological solutions addressing present and future threats posed by synthetic biology. The participants will collaborate on a book, to be published next year. More info here.
