Abstract

The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Biosecurity Office is the expert information and advisory body for high-risk pathogens, knowledge, information, and technologies for the Dutch government. The Biosecurity Office provides support to biosafety officers and researchers in the Netherlands through awareness raising activities and the development of biosecurity tools. These tools include the Dual-Use Quickscan, which is the focus of this case study. Through its activities, the Biosecurity Office:
• raises awareness and promotes discussion between researchers and biosafety officers about dual-use risks.
• works closely with researchers and biosafety officers to understand risks “on the ground.”
• leverages existing resources to create streamlined risk assessment tools.
