The programme for the
ISTA Seminar on Specified
Trait Seed Testing to be held on June 16, from 8.30 to 18.00 in
Hotel Savoia Regency, Bologna is now available at
https://www.seedtest.org/stream/nl-l---1--%400dfbc7321031--83.pdf
The aim of the Seminar is to provide useful information
regarding the overall situation of specified trait testing in
seeds, as well as to provide education regarding the work in the
laboratory.
The seminar is structured in three main parts. In part one,
important information regarding the political and technical
surroundings of specified trait testing in seeds will be
presented with a focus on the international trade aspects, the
coexistence questions in Europe and the situation in a GM seed
growing country.
In the second more technical part, information and education
will be provided regarding the work in the laboratory itself
with a focus on the establishment of appropriate testing plans.
In the third part, detailed information will be provided
regarding the work of ISTA and the outcome and conclusions of
this work.
The meeting will be chaired by Christoph Haldemann, Chairman of
the ISTA GMO Task Force. The invited speakers are experts in
their fields, coming from the private and the public sectors,
from universities and seed companies.
The Seminar has been organised by the ISTA GMO Task Force in
conjunction with the ISTA Annual Meeting 2008 to be held in
Bologna, Italy from June 16 to 19.
