People responsible for biosafety and biorisk management in an organization have to cope with an increasing complexity and diversity of topics.

The course also offers an opportunity for participants to join in practical exercises (e.g. spill training, working in a microbiological safety cabinet) and experience the implementation of biorisk management during a visit of the Institute of Tropical Medicine.

This is an international course, organized by University of Antwerp, Institute of Tropical Medicine, University of Ghent, University of Namur, Free University of Brussels, Sciensano and Perseus BVBA.
