Abstract

Centre for Biosecurity and Biopreparedness (CBB) is the
Danish authority on biosecurity and biopreparedness. CBB’s
risk assessment and risk management processes exemplify
practical, small-scale (small country) approaches to prevent
the misuse of dual-use materials and technologies that
could lead to the production or use of biological weapons. This case study provides insights on how to approach regulation of dual-use technologies in an inclusive but authoritative manner and on the types of expertise required for this process. CBB:
• has a legal mandate to regulate dual-use technologies, referred to in Denmark as “technologies with misuse potential.”
• considers technologies related to work with controlled pathogens as well as technologies that may have a strong enabling effect on the development, production, or use of bioweapons.
• uses a lean and flexible process that emphasizes dialogue with researchers in academia and industry.
