New Breeding Techniques: regulate or not to regulate International conference at the Academy
Aims of the conference: The new precision genome editing (PGE) techniques are currently widely discussed as key elements in the new breeding methods serving the agricultural innovation also in Europe. Unfortunately among the EU member states, there is no consensus on the use of GM technology in agricultural practices. The conference will take place between 26-27 September at the palace of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
In this hostile climate our scientific community is particularly concerned and feels an utmost importance in emphasizing the significance and the potentials of the PGE techniques and to engage the European agricultural policy for a supportive attitude towards this new innovation, which stance should be represented at the Council meetings as well in shaping the associated EU regulation.
The conference is scheduled to take place between 26-27 September, 2016 at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences: Széchenyi István square 9, Budapest 1051.
