In this paper, we specifically analysed the structure, approach and lessons learned from the International Nuclear Security Education Network (INSEN) and work of the Advisory Board on Education and Outreach (ABEO) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and propose a similar structure for an International Biological Security Education Network that could be applied to the establishment of a comparable network for biosecurity education for civil society and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) to adopt.
