EBSA’s Education and Training Working Group ETWG consists of nine members with a widespread origin and background, working towards a  common goal: improving Biosafety in Europe and beyond by providing high quality biosafety/biosecurity training and education resources.

ETWG represents an important part of  EBSA’s strategy to increase Biosafety in Europe. Over more than a decade ETWG has organised annual preconference courses on a wide range of biosafety related topics. In addition, the working group is involved in providing online courses, a training e-library and other projects.
