GeneSprout Initiative
www.genesproutinitiative.comEuropean Initiative of Young Plant Scientists for Open Dialogue on Novel Plant Breeding Techniques and the Policy thereof. Our current mission is to give a voice to young researchers and students regarding NPBTs and their policy within Europe. Moreover, we are aiming to increase public engagement. The reason for the start-up of this initiative is the amount of gaps between policy, technology and public perception of the techniques in plant breeding. There are many inconsistencies in policy compared to technological advances, and a large part of the public cannot openly discuss genetic editing techniques due to miscommunication, one-way communication and emotional polarization. We aim to make a difference in the latter. Our core Objectives are: * To voice the opinions of plant science students and young plant researchers in the policy-making of NPBTs * To engage in open dialogues with the general public about NPBTs * To develop easy to understand and accessible information platforms for all interested Feel free to follow us in our endeavors to open up communication and discussion on Plant Breeding Techniques.
