Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNe)

Delivering CBRNe capacity building to improve safety and security

SCJS leads a number of core international CBRNe projects on behalf of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Co-operation and Development (DEVCO). Working in partnership with the European Union (EU) CBRNe Centre of Excellence, SCJS supports the objective to strengthen the institutional capacity of countries outside of the EU to mitigate CBRNe risks. These risks may be created intentionally, accidentally or naturally.

The SCJS CBRNe project portfolio currently encompasses delivery in the Middle East, Central Asia and South-East Asia regions. These projects seek to strengthen National Legal Frameworks and provide specialised training to improve the management of CBRNe incidents and risk mitigation capabilities of countries in the field of Chemical and Biological safety and security. Critically, this includes outputs to disrupt the intentional and criminal use of chemicals to facilitate acts of Terrorism.

SCJS works with a number of key partners across the UK, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Norway, the Slovak Republic and Sweden in the field of CBRNe, who hold world-leading expertise in the following areas:
