Save the Date: 8th Asian Short Course on Agribiotechnology, Biosafety Regulation, and Communication
May 7, 2025 |
The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), Inc., and the Malaysian Biotechnology Information Centre (MABIC) announce the 8th Asian Short Course on Agribiotechnology, Biosafety Regulation, and Communication (ASCA8). The 4-day intensive training program for key biotechnology players will be held on October 13-16, 2025 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
ASCA has trained over 200 scientists, regulators, communication practitioners, and other stakeholders from various government agencies, private companies, and nonprofits in Asia since 2018. The program focuses on three key areas: agricultural biotechnology applications (genetic engineering and gene editing), policy environment, and science communication. International experts from these fields serve as resource speakers and facilitators of the discussions. The short course also includes tours to biotech research facilities, farmers' fields, and hands-on activities that aim to enrich knowledge and experience in the key areas.
Participation in ASCA cultivates a collaborative environment where participants and experts network, driving the convergence of science and regulations to ensure the responsible advancement of modern biotechnology for maximum societal benefit.
Interested participants and partners may now sign up to get ASCA8 e-mail updates.
