SCIENCE for breakfast: New Opportunities for New Genomic Technologies?

SCIENCE for breakfast logo

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 Biomedical Innovation Law, University of Copenhagen.
  • Svend Christensen, professor and head of department at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen (host).
