Green genetic engineering symposium
Applications of green genetic engineering and the new genomic techniques (gene scissors) are the subject of highly emotional and controversial debate, particularly in Germany. Legal requirements are hindering their scientific and commercial applications in the European Union. The EU Commission has recognised this and wants to present a draft for the revision of the Genetic Engineering Act by November 2022. Our symposium falls precisely at this time. It will certainly be an exciting and informative event.
The symposium is organised by GDCh together with DECHEMA and Wissenschaftlerkreis Grüne Gentechnik e.V.. The event will be moderated by Klaus-Dieter Jany, board member of the Senior Expert Chemists. The event will take place at DECHEMA in Frankfurt and will start at 13:00. Registration is required. Online registration is possible from 1 September via the official website of the GDCh
