The participants who gathered in Budapest were already engaged in this challenging task, and, therefore, the focus of the meeting was on what had been accomplished and what challenges remained. There was no attempt to achieve consensus, since there exist real and important differences among those involved concerning the appropriate policies and actions to be undertaken. But there was a serious effort to identify a range of potential next steps, and also an effort to identify opportunities where international scientific organizations could make substantive contributions and offer their advice and expertise to policy discussions. The Forum's presentations, discussions, and results are summarized in this book.Second International Forum on BiosecurityBioterrorismPreventionBiological warfareRisk assessmentBiological weaponsRisk assessmentBioterrorismPrevention.Biological warfareRisk assessment.Biological weaponsRisk assessment.363.325Bowman Katherine1592813Husbands Jo L1673257Rusek Ben1673258National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on International Outreach Activities on Biosecurity.National Research Council (U.S.).Board on International Scientific Organizations.National Academies Press (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824908903321The 2nd International Forum on Biosecurity4037230UNINA
