The meeting participants came up with several ideas to prevent, mitigate, and manage high-impact biothreats. One of the solutions is to promote global research coordination networks that share functional, technical, and policy norms and enhance transparency among researchers to promote collaborative global biodefense. Another idea is to pilot concepts for awarding a “seal of approval” among researchers and institutions to develop incentives for responsible science and disincentives for irresponsible behavior. Additionally, they said they need to mitigate risks of misuse associated with enabling technologies and services, such as DNA synthesis and cloud-based laboratories. Finally, they would like to see the development of an international response framework that maps gaps in the response architecture for biological weapons events.
