This project will investigate trends in science and technology (S&T) relevant to the
Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) to assess their implications for the future
operation of the Convention, including potential emerging threats and
developments that could limit the effective implementation of the convention. The
project will reach a broad international audience and will support a wider
discussion between S&T and international security professionals about how to
address the implications of the revolution in life sciences without unduly impeding
continued scientific progress.
