Bridging Biosafety

15-16 May 2025 - Conference

We are already looking out for your contributions! 

Make sure you get on the program and send in your contribution offer as soon as possible.

Oral presentations

We have 30 minutes slots available in all sessions:

  • Biosafety behaviour and Bio-ethics
    This session aims to discuss behaviour based biosafety and bioethics. Biosafety behaviour involves human factors that reduces hazards, risks and incidents in which persons behaviour plays a key role. Bioethics is the study on ethical, social and legal issues that arise in life sciences, biotechnology and public health. Both biosafety behaviour and ethical considerations underpin effective biosafety practices, fostering a culture of responsibility and integrity in the biosafety community. Topics of Interest include:
    • Psychological and behavioral aspects of biosafety compliance
    • Brain-based biosafety
    • Ethical dilemmas in biosafety decision-making
    • Strategies for promoting a culture of biosafety and ethical conduct
    • Case studies on biosafety behavior and ethical challenges
    • Training programs focused on biosafety ethics and behavior
    • Impact of organizational culture on biosafety practices
    • Ethical considerations in dual-use research
    • Bioethical discussions in biomedical procedures, new medicines and ways of altering plants and animals – cost-benefit analysis in relation with ethical dilemma’s
    • Role of leadership in fostering ethical biosafety practices
    • Public perception and ethical communication in biosafety
    • Integrating bio-ethics into biosafety policies and regulations

  • One Health and Biosafety
    This session will focus on the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, and the critical role of biosafety in promoting a holistic approach to health and disease prevention. Topics of Interest include:
    • Integrating One Health principles into biosafety practices
    • Cross-sectoral collaboration for biosafety and One Health
    • Case studies on One Health initiatives and biosafety outcomes
    • Zoonotic disease prevention and biosafety measures
    • Biosafety measures to prevent and control the introduction and spread of pests of plants and plant products
    • Environmental biosafety and its impact on public health
    • Biosafety protocols in veterinary and agricultural settings
    • One Health education and training programs
    • Policy and regulatory frameworks supporting One Health and biosafety
    • Innovations in biosafety that enhance One Health outcomes
    • Surveillance and monitoring systems for One Health and biosafety

  • Sustainable Biosafety
    This session aims to explore the intersection and conflict of sustainability and biosafety, highlighting innovative practices, research, and policies that promote both environmental stewardship and biosafety excellence. Topics of interest include:
    • Sustainable biosafety practices and protocols
    • Evidence-based biosafety
    • Eco-friendly containment and decontamination technologies
    • Waste management and reduction strategies in biosafety settings
    • Energy-efficient laboratory design and operations
    • Integration of sustainability in biosafety training and education
    • Case studies on sustainable biosafety initiatives
    • Regulatory frameworks supporting sustainable biosafety
    • Innovations in sustainable personal protective equipment (PPE)
    • Impact of sustainable practices on biosafety and public health
    • Collaborative efforts for sustainable biosafety solutions

  • Developments in Applied Biosafety
    This session is dedicated to the latest advancements in biosafety and applied biosafety. It aims to discuss innovative approaches, emerging trends, and practical applications in the field of biosafety. Topics of Interest that could be covered are:
