The workshops are conducted by a combination of CSIRO teaching and scientific research staff from Canberra.
Participants will gain an understanding of the research involved, the advances currently provided by gene technology, an insight into future research opportunities, and details of the regulatory system underpinning gene technology research. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in discussions about key issues such as community perceptions and industry positions.

Attendees have indicated that they found the course extremely valuable in helping them better understand the key issues that underpin gene technology research in Australia and overseas.
