The 11th International Symposium on the biosafety of genetically modified organisms will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 15-20 November 2010.

The theme of the congress is ‘The Role of Biosafety Research in the Decision-making Process.’

The 11th ISBGMO will include plenary sessions, poster sessions, workshops and training sessions. There will be a visit to see experimental and commercial GM crops.

Subjects will include studies of the environmental biosafety of a range of GM plants and insects, risk assessment methods, risk management and the interactions between scientific information and regulation of GMOs.

ISBGMO will be of interest to risk assessors, scientists, researchers and regulators involved in assessing the environmental and agronomic impacts of the release and cultivation of GMOs.
