Launch of EASAC policy report
“Genome Editing: Scientific opportunities, public interests, and policy options in the EU"
4 May 2017, 12:00 – 14:00, Palace of the Academies, Rue Ducale 1, Brussels, in the Rubens Room (main building)
Join Europe's cutting-edge scientists at the launch of our genome editing report. These scientists are offering European policy-makers the latest evidence-based advice on ground-breaking research involving genome editing and plants, animals, microbes and patients.
Policy-makers must ensure that the regulation of applications is 1) evidence-based, 2) takes into account likely benefits as well as hypothetical risks, and 3) is proportionate and sufficiently flexible to cope with future advances in the science.
