Meeting

BiosafeTrain is an international project devoted to GM biosafety capacity building in East Africa. Financially supported by DANIDA, it provides local training courses, fellowships and co-ordinates infrastructural development to promote the responsible use of biotechnology in Africa. The project is entirely based in Africa and concentrates on practical methods of testing and handling GM plants. During the event, we will present the project, its activites and future plans with the aim of attracting further interest from beyond East Africa.
