The Research Group for Biological Weapons and Arms Control
The Research Group was founded in the Summer of 2003 at the University of Hamburg, Research Group for Biotechnology, Society and Environment. The aim is to contribute, through innovative research and outreach activities, to the universal prevention of biological weapon development, production and use. The development of new verification strategies and concepts is the core research area of the Study Group.
Since August 2006 we are part of the Carl-Friedrich von Weizsäcker Centre for Science and Peace Research (ZNF) led by Prof. Martin Kalinowski.
