2nd ESA Spring Seminar

"Open Source Innovation Models in the Seed and Plant Biotech Industry"

The seed and plant biotech industry is facing challenges from a steep increase of food, feed and biofuels demand, climate change and other factors which go beyond the challenges of the past and which may only be met by combination of multiple innovations.  In consequence, the question arises whether the existing IP models are still adequate or if new models or systems are required.  The 2nd ESA Spring Seminar will provide a platform for exchanging information and experiences about 'open source' models in different industries, and a think-tank atmosphere to elucidate how such models could look like for the seed and plant biotech industry.

ESA is looking forward to welcome you at this event to be held at the SHERATON Hotel and Towers in Brussels on 19 - 20. February 2009.  For Registration, please follow the link provided in the right column of this website and simply fill in the registration form.
