The Interdisciplinary Research Forum hosted the book launch of Essentials of Biological Security: A Global Perspective published by London Metropolitan University’s Biological Security Research Centre (LMU BSRC) and Wiley. This book aims to be a one-stop-shop resource to help people to teach biological security, in support of the Tianjin Guidelines that have been developed by some States Parties to BTWC (Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention) Review Conference in December 2023. It is the first of a planned series of books in biosecurity education.
This hybrid workshop was an opportunity for authors to present their chapters, and editors to talk about the promotion plan for this book, including translation, workshops, and future publications. The leading editor Professor Lijun Shang also explained the strategy plan for using the book to implement biosecurity education and as the first stepping stone for the ongoing project of the International Biological Security Education Network (IBSEN).
