Description

The programme’s ambition and goal is to create high-quality, public, fundamental ecological knowledge that is needed for making a risk analysis of future generations of genetically modified crops. The programme will mainly be built from (clusters of) larger and smaller research efforts. There will also be specific activities in the field of communication and (international) embedment. In assessing and supporting projects an important role is given to potential license holders.
