Pandemic Action Network

Nucleic acid governance
We provided Pandemic Action Network (PAN), a fiscally sponsored project of Panorama Global, with $250,000 to continue ongoing work on nucleic acid synthesis governance in Europe. This effort is led by Eloise Todd alongside a coalition of partners from civil society, academia, and industry, and in consultation with relevant regional and national government bodies.
We expect this project to clarify potential mechanisms to govern nucleic acid synthesis at the EU- and national levels, lay the foundation for productive civil​ society engagement, and build a coalition of credible proponents for responsible biotechnology and life science governance in Europe.
This grant follows our July 2024 support for the Pandemic Action Network.
