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. 517 3 $aSecond International Forum on Biosecurity 606 $aBioterrorism$xPrevention 606 $aBiological warfare$xRisk assessment 606 $aBiological weapons$xRisk assessment 615 0$aBioterrorism$xPrevention. 615 0$aBiological warfare$xRisk assessment. 615 0$aBiological weapons$xRisk assessment. 676 $a363.325 701 $aBowman$b Katherine$01592813 701 $aHusbands$b Jo L$01673257 701 $aRusek$b Ben$01673258 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on International Outreach Activities on Biosecurity. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on International Scientific Organizations. 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824908903321 996 $aThe 2nd International Forum on Biosecurity$94037230 997 $aUNINA
