At this side event to the third meeting of the Working Group to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention, UNIDIR and VERTIC will bring together different stakeholders to discuss their work related to the national implementation of the BWC.
After the launch of the UNIDIR-VERTIC Database on National Implementation Measures of the BWC in August 2023, this event will focus on how this new digital tool is being used and can potentially be used by different actors in their efforts towards strengthening the implementation of the Convention. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
A light lunch will be provided prior to the start of the event.
