Training on Biotech Application and its Regulation
April 17, 2009| |
India's TERI University will be organizing the third training program on "Application of Biotechnology and its Regulations" to be conducted from August 4 to 21 August 2009 in New Delhi. The Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC), Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India will meet the costs of the course, travel and accommodation of selected participants from Africa and Asia. The program focuses on agriculture biotechnology, techniques and status of acceptance of new technologies. In addition to traditional biotechnologies such as tissue culture propagation (micropropogation), use of biofertilizers and biopesticides (for organic agriculture), and issues related to Plant Variety and Farmer's Rights will be discussed. The modern biotechnology based on molecular markers breeding and genetic engineering will be discussed in detail both from the technology point of view and issues related to its acceptance globally.
The candidates may apply by filling the ITEC/SCAAP application form available at http://itec.nic.in/form.htm. Submit it to the nodal Government Department/Agency designated to nominate candidates. For more information about funding support and registration contact Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Executive Director, the Energy & Resources Institute (TERI) at vibhad@teri.res.in.
