The Co-Extra International Conference

November 7, 2008

Co-Extra, an EU research program on the coexistence and traceability of genetically modified organisms, will be conducting an international conference on June 3-5, 2009 in Paris, France. The Conference will consider topics such as agricultural and biological gene containment techniques, sampling strategies, detection, identification and quantification of GM ingredients in crops, foods and feed supply chains, and coexistence and traceability practices around the world. Invited presentations on the results of the related EU research projects – SIGMEA and Transcontainer– and also from representatives of non-EU countries will provide a broader picture of current knowledge both within and outside in Europe.
