2nd Global Congress on New Emerging Genetic Biocontrol Technologies

March 17-20, 2025, Alisa Hotel North Ridge, Accra, Ghana.

Organized by African Genetic Biocontrol Consortium

Theme: Harnessing the potential of genetic biocontrol solutions in a changing climate

The African Genetic Biocontrol Consortium is delighted to announce the 2nd Global Congress on New and Emerging Genetic Biocontrol Technologies to take place at Alisa Hotel North Ridge, Accra, Ghana in March 17-20, 2025. The aim of the Congress is to bring together experts from around the world to share learnings across diverse disciplines related to genetic biocontrol technologies in a four-day event in Accra, Ghana.

Join Us for the 2nd Global Congress on New and Emerging Genetic Biocontrol Technologies 2025 and be part of the Globe’s Second Congress to advance the Genetic Biocontrol agenda. 

ABOUT THE CONGRESS

The Congress will be characterized by

  • Two full days of intensive Pre-Congress Workshops/Symposia/Courses
  • Two full days of the state-of-the-art keynotes, papers, and panel discussions
  • Exhibits on genetic biocontrol products and services
  • Invaluable networking

The congress is planned in the form of a keynote address, thematic presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions, plenaries and exhibitions, will primarily focus on three sub-themes:

  • Regulatory frameworks and decision-making processes for emerging biotechnologies
  • Communicating Genetic Biocontrol Technologies
  • Principles & practices of biosafety and biosecurity for high containment facilities.

Objectives of the Congress

  • To provide a comprehensive understanding of regulatory frameworks governing emerging biotechnologies, equipping stakeholders with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate decision-making processes, ensure compliance, and contribute to informed policy development on aspects of genetic biocontrol.
  • To enhance the ability of scientists, policymakers, and communicators to effectively pass across the risks, benefits, and uncertainties of genetic biocontrol technologies, improving public trust, informed decision-making, and stakeholder engagement.
  • To equip professionals with the fundamental principles, best practices, and regulatory requirements of biosafety and biosecurity, ensuring the safe operation and risk management of high-containment facilities to prevent biological threats.

From these objectives, we have the following three pre-congress events:

2-Pre-Congress-Course-on-Communicating
3-Pre-Congress-Course-on-biosecurity-for-high-containment-facilities-REV
1-Introductory-Course-on-Regulatory-Science

Participants will comprise among others:

  • Researchers
  • Regulators
  • Policy and decision makers
  • Industry players
  • Journalists and science communicators
