Aim of the project

Gathering and synthetising of
relevant international and
national professional literature
dealing with biotechnology in
the aspect of the possible
effects to the environment in
the next 20 years and
afterwards.

Target group(s)

Persons being involved
into the research of
biotechnology and users of
biotech products (GMO)
and appliers of research
results

Stakeholders of biotechnology sector, interviewees, workshop participants

Partners participating in the realisation of the project

•
Due to the research an overview is given of the current status of biotechnology, directions of
development, trends and futureperspectives. Positions are also synthetised: EU, OECD, IPTS, EPA .
Relevant elements of the exisitng scenarios are analysed. As it has been pointed out, domestic
research is confined into narrow fields of biotechnology. The research having been carried out by us
is layed into a wider context by the application of given indicators concerning both international and
national status. Due to the method of scenario a vision is attemted to being drawn up for the next 10
-
15 years.
