Summary. Life
scientists have with increasing intensity been requested to recognize and take
responsibility for the potential dual use implications of their work. Thus, a
major challenge for today’s internationally scientific community
is to find effective ways to raise awareness among scientists about their
social responsibility regarding the potential for the destructive use of the
life science research in which they are engaged. The aim of the presented study
is gathering information on the some available for Ukrainian researchers,
specialists and students in life sciences educational opportunities on biosafety, biosecurity and
bioethics.
Keywords: biosafety, biosecurity,
education, knowledge distribution
