Biosecurity reading group is a student initiative at ETH D-BSSE aiming to create a space for learning about risks posed by biological threats and approaches to protect against them.
Biosecurity refers to measures aimed at preventing the introduction or spread of harmful organisms — Wikipedia
We aim to facilitate monthly discussions of relevant scientific and policy publications in Autumn Semester 2025. The final format is very open to be influenced by you — the members of this group!
We encourage reading the assigned resources beforehand, but happy for anyone to join regardless of level of preparation or familiarity with the topic.
Place (in-person): see details for each Luma event
