ABSA Partner
European Biological Safety Association (EBSA)
During the 2014 ABSA conference in San Diego, CA the ABSA-EBSA (European Biological Safety Association) Partnership Agreement was signed. This partnership will help ABSA and EBSA coordinate positions regarding biosafety and biorisk management. It will also allow RBP and CBSP credentialed professionals attending EBSA events to obtain CM points without additional evaluation, making it easier to obtain their continuing education points.
