Putting an end (at last) to glyphosate

In 18 months, the EU will have to decide whether it renews the approval for glyphosate to be sold on its market. Where are we at, with regards to the fight against this herbicide? Are Member-States going to approve its renewal, or has time come for a shift to alternatives?  Join our event to h...

Opinion by Benoît Biteau & Martin Häusling & Tilly Metz

Gene editing - the reality behind the hype

In this online event, experts will respond to questions such as: How does gene editing work? What can it achieve? How does it compare with older-style genetic engineering technology? Who is promoting it and why? And what does it mean to maintain the EU’s regulatory framework or not?
