This report is based on discussions held during an unclassified workshop hosted by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the Council on Strategic Risks (CSR) on August 29, 2019. The first in a planned series, this workshop brought together experts from government, national laboratories, academia, industry, and the policy and entrepreneur communities to examine the potential to use strategy, technology advances, policy, and other tools to make bioweapons obsolete. The workshop provided participants with a rare opportunity to step back from their day-to-day jobs and think strategically about how to achieve this goal more effectively and rapidly. The conversation was held under the Chatham House Rule. The objective was to generate and share ideas and identify questions that will be critical to answer in pursuit of making bioweapons obsolete. Its purpose was not to create consensus. This report does not represent consensus among participants, nor does it assign specific perspectives to any individual participant or represent the official views of any United States (U.S.) government agency or the organizing institutions namely, SNL and CSR.
