Under the Patronage of
His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal
The Biosafety and Biosecurity International
Conference
'Healthier and More Secure Communities in the
Middle East and North Africa'.
13 - 15 September, 2011 Amman - Jordan
The Biosafety and Biosecurity International
Conferences bring together world experts with top
life scientists, policy makers, academics and
business people from the Middle East and North
Africa to develop comprehensive biosafety and
biosecurity strategies for the region in order to
build healthier and more secure communities. It is
the major opportunity in the MENA region for
networking building, mutual learning, and
discovering and promoting new technologies relating
to biosafety and biosecurity. |

Extraordinary advances being made in
biotechnology bring enormous
benefits to society and strengthen
the defense against biological risks
regardless of their origin. But such
advances also bring potential for
accidents, sabotage or misuse. To
ensure that the public has
confidence that these risks are
being properly managed, there is a
need to develop a professional
approach to biosafety and
biosecurity wherever the life
sciences are practiced.
