Genomics for developing countries

Mind you, Dr. Serageldin needed 296 slides for his lecture, which he amazingly achieved to finish in 43 minutes and 12 seconds. But the results were there: all attending biotechnologists were eagerly scratching their heads on how to contribute to the dilemmas of the less developed countries.

So read carefully now, because I will introduce a truly marvellous opportunity for you in which The Netherlands can show its forefront position in politics and technology development! I invite you to select your best idea for a Biotechnology or Genomics based business project that could be carried out in a Less Developed Country (LDC). An international jury will select the most feasible and attractive ideas and award these at the coming Netherlands Biotechnology Congress, 11-12 March 2004. This is followed by a competition among Dutch secondary schools to raise the most money, combined with the best work plan for the project (technical as well as management aspects). We hope to announce the winning school by a celebrity and with large media coverage during the international Genomics Momentum 2004, which will be held on 31 August to 1 September next year. The price is simple but effective: the actual carrying out of the project in the less developed country! As a collaboration of the winning school and the owner of the project.

You can only win:
