(viii) Décrire brièvement la politique adoptée en matière de publication dans l’installation.

Results are published in scientific journals as well as in reports to the Federal Ministry of Defence. Data are also presented in national and international scientific meetings. The Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology has implemented dual use research of concern (DURC) regulations. Scientists are required to assess the potential of their research before a project is started, during the project period and before results are published.

(ix) Fournir une liste des documents et rapports accessibles au public qui portent sur les travaux publiés au cours des douze mois écoulés (indiquer les auteurs, les titres et les références complètes).
