This chapter analyses a case study of responsible governance of dual use life sciences and biosecurity in Armenia. It is based on materials presented during a Responsible Research and Innovation Course in Armenia, held on 17–19 May 2019. The course was organised as part of the ISTC Targeted Initiative (TI) on CBRN Export Control and Dual Use in Central Asia. The focus of the case study is on ethical aspects and how collective responsibility for biosecurity can be organised, in order to prevent innovation from undermining international law prohibiting hostile uses of life sciences.
