The next Annual Conference of the European Biosafety Association heralds a return to the UK for what is one of the major global biosafety and biosecurity events of the year. The pre-conference courses and the main conference itself both provide a wide range of high impact and topical training, talks and breakout sessions covering technical and regulatory issues and the management of biosafety and biosecurity in the workplace. As an added benefit the meeting is the ideal opportunity to network with biosafety and biosecurity colleagues in academia and industry from all over Europe and beyond.
