On behalf of the scientific committee we invite you to the 3rd Annual Meeting in Conservation Genetics which will be held from 26-28 February 2018 at the Natural History Museum Vienna. Your contributions will inform on exciting conservation genetic research and emerging new developments. Our objectives are to provide a platform for personal exchange for scientists, practitioners and stakeholders interested in conservation genetics and to establish a network in conservation genetics in Central Europe and beyond. Keynotes will be given by renowned scientists from within the European conservation genetic community.We welcome researchers at all levels of their scientific career, practitioners and stakeholders to exchange results and discuss new ideas in conservation genetics. We are looking forward to welcoming you in February! ... [Information of the supplier]
We heartily invite you to the 4th Annual Meeting in Conservation Genetics – From Genomes to Application held in Frankfurt am Main from 26.-28.02.2020 at the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum. The conference is intended for researchers, conservationists and environmental managers interested in the application of genomic tools in conservation. The prevailing question throughout all sessions, workshops and plenary talks will be: How to use the countless opportunities provided by modern genomics to improve conservation practices and management of natural resources in a human-dominated world? ...

This GM contamination register is the first of its kind in the world. Genetically modified crops were first commercially grown on a wide scale in 1996. But, there has always been concern about their effects on both health and the environment. A specific concern has been that once released, it would not be possible to contain or control these organisms yet there is no global monitoring system. Because of this failure of national and international agencies, GeneWatch UK and Greenpeace International launched this joint initiative in 2005 to record all incidents of contamination arising from the intentional or accidental release of genetically modified (GM) organisms (which are also known as genetically engineered (GE) organisms). It also includes illegal plantings of GM crops and the negative agricultural side-effects that have been reported. Only those incidents which have been publically documented are recorded here. There may be others that are, as yet, undetected. This site is intended to be a resource for individuals, public interest groups and governments. The register can be searched to see where, when and how contamination has taken place. It includes information about, and links to, sources and the GeneWatch UK and Greenpeace web sites as well as other useful sites. ... [Information of the supplier]
