Swedish BSL3 Network

High-level containment laboratories are a cornerstone for pandemic laboratory preparedness (PLP). The purpose of the Swedish BSL3 Network is to strengthen national PLP by improving interactions between BSL3 facilities in the country.

The Swedish BSL3 Network is part of SciLifeLab’s pandemic laboratory preparedness program funded by the Swedish government.

Aims of the network

We are stronger together! The aim of the network is to:

  • Promote collaboration and share experience, knowledge and technology
  • Identify focus points and specific capabilities of each BSL3 facility
