What will I learn?

Gene editing has emerged in the last decade as a new and precise way of altering the genetic material of plants and animals. Being a relatively novel technique, since its introduction, gene editing has found a wide array of applications in different fields of research, with its inventors awarded the Nobel Prize in 2020.

This webinar will cover the current applications of gene editing in agricultural and horticultural crops around the globe in the last decade, highlighting major achievements in the field of plant breeding. Furthermore, the current regulatory environment of gene editing will be presented covering Europe (EU 27 + non-member states), as well as some major import and export markets and developing countries. The differences between policymakers’ approaches to gene editing regulation will be outlined, providing an overview of the current regulatory frameworks and explanations of specific regulations.
