SCIENCE for Breakfast
Gain new knowledge about the big questions of our time. Join us for breakfast events at UCPH SCIENCE about societally relevant subjects within natural and bio sciences. See all our upcoming events on this page.
SCIENCE for Breakfast is a series of networking meetings that is open for everybody interested. Each event puts focus on a current topic within bio and natural sciences, digitalisation, innovation, life science, technology and sustainability.
Each meeting offers perspectives from both researchers from KU SCIENCE, and our collaborative partners. Besides exciting discussion, you will also be able to enjoy a light breakfast and can expand your network.
Everyone can participate – the meetings are free, but registration is obligatory.

What does the EU Commission's proposal for new legislation on New Genomic Technologies (NGT) mean for Denmark's bio-companies and innovation? Join us as we delve into the natural sciences, law and business perspectives of NGT at SCIENCE’s new morning and network concept SCIENCE for Breakfast.
Key questions addressed this morning:
- How does it affect the industry if new NGT legislation eventually opens up for the use of these technologies?
- What technologies and opportunities do bureaucracy and legislation prevent us from using in Europe?
- What are the challenges in developing such new legislation?
Speakers:
- Barbara Ann Halkier, professor at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
- Rasmus Hjortshøj, plant breeder at Sejet Plant Breeding.
- Timo Minssen, professor, Center for Advanced Studies in Bioscience Innovation Law, University of Copenhagen.
- Svend Christensen, professor and head of department at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen (host).
The event will be in English.
