Workshop „Rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und Koexistenz“ |
| Date |
15.03.2011 |
| Time |
9:45 – 15:15 |
| Place |
Haus der Universität, Schlösslistrasse 5, 3008 Bern |
| Description |
Präsentation von Resultaten und Diskussion mit Zielgruppen
Auf dem Weg zur Programmsynthese werden Workshops mit Stakeholdern durchgeführt, die folgende Ziele verfolgen:
1) Präsentation von Resultaten für relevante Stakeholder
2) Einholen eines Feedbacks von Seiten Praxis.
Dieses Feedback ist für die Programmleitung auf dem Weg zur Synthese wichtig, denn die Präsentation der Resultate soll auf die Bedürfnisse der Anwender zugeschnitten sein, um einen möglichst hohen Nutzwert für die Praxis zu generieren.
Der erste dieser Workshops ist den beiden Themen „Rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen“ und „Koexistenz“ gewidmet, weil diese mit der Erarbeitung der Koexistenzverordnung in der Bundesverwaltung am aktuellsten sind und darum die diesbezüglichen Ergebnisse des NFP 59 möglichst rasch den Weg in die Praxis finden sollen. |

Symposium on the results of the release trials with genetically modified wheat |
| Date |
27.01.2011 |
| Time |
09:00 - 17:00 |
| Place |
Forschungsanstalt Agroscope, Reckenholzstrasse 191, 8046 Zürich |
| Organization |
ART / NFP 59 |
| Description |
In nine projects, the Wheat Cluster has examined genetically modified wheat featuring an increased resistance to mildew.
Now the results will be presented during a symposium. The following questions are of particular interest:
• Has the genetic modification increased, as expected, the resistance of the tested varieties against mildew?
• How did the genetically modified wheat behave in the field?
• What repercussions did the wheat have on mycorrhizal fungi, on soil bacteria and on insects?
• What influences do the environment and the state of competition in the field have on the genetically modified wheat plants?
• How fit are crossings of wheat with a related wild grass species?
• Were outcrossings with non-genetically modified wheat observed?
The event will also include a discussion of the results. Furthermore, the NRP 59 would like to hear from the involved stakeholders about the relevance of the results for their institutions.
All people affiliated to research, the public authorities, specialized organizations, politics and the specialized press, as well as all other people interested in the subject, are invited to attend.
Closing date for registration: Monday, January 10, 2011

Different ways to assess the potential risks of GMO
Risk assessment methods applied today base on a certain number of defined parameters and indicators. Though the data output of these methods is too small to draw conclusions for the whole ecosystem, say some critics. They call for a broader risk assessment. Lectures held in English
