Canadian Biosafety Symposium
Topic: The Canadian Biosafety Symposium will feature presentations and posters on an array of biosafety topics, including containment facilities design, maintenance and equipment; laboratory management and operations; animal containment; biosecurity; and, infectious diseases affecting human and animals. It will be a unique opportunity for the biosafety community to learn and share knowledge with colleagues from across Canada and other countries.
Date: 6 - 9 June 2010
Venue: Winnipeg, Canada

14th International Biotechnology Symposium and Exhibition (IBS2010)
Topic: Delegates to the conference will explore the frontiers and applications of biotechnology for a healthier and more sustainable future and a knowledge-based bioeconomy via oral and poster presentations themed within several session topics. Keynote lectures by renowned international speakers will provide an inspirational insight into current topical issues. Sessions specifically addressed to promote the international RTD cooperation and the establishment of industry-academia consortia suited for "the 7th Framework Program" applications will also be organized.
Date: 15 - 19 September 2010
Venue: Rimini, Italy

4th High Containment Operations and Maintenance Workshop
Topic: This workshop addresses the increasing needs of facility operators, maintenance and operations staff for training in relevant aspects of biocontainment facilities and fills a critical need within the operations and maintenance community. This four day course allows participants to work hands-on in the special containment and facility support areas (BSL 3 and 4) of the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health, one of the world's most recognized containment laboratory complexes.
Date: 20 - 24 September 2010
Venue: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Symposium on Contributions from scientific research to the risk assessment of GMOs
Topic: This symposium, organized by the Division of Biosafety and Biotechnology of the Scientific Institute of Public Health, aims at gathering scientists that are interested or involved in biosafety-related issues and whose domain of research and expertise might help to develop a better understanding or evaluation of the potential risks associated with the use of GMOs. By delineating some specific subjects of risk assessment of GMOs, a multi-disciplinary forum will be created where participants will be offered the opportunity to share their scientific views and expertise from disciplines and technologies such as biology, allergenicity, gene therapy or food biotechnology. The symposium will be dedicated to the following topics: Scientific contributions to risk assessment of GMOs; Epigenetic effects; Genetically modified micro-organisms : vectors for gene delivery; Field studies and their contribution to ERA of GM plants; ‘OMICS’. During the presentations and discussions, particular attention will be given on how scientific research and developments can give new insights or contribute to the risk assessment of GMOs.
Date: 21 - 22 October 2010
Venue: Brussels, Belgium

Animal Research Facilities 2010
Topic: Annual meeting for industry leaders involved in planning, administration, and operation of academic medical & health science centers (i.e. medical schools, hospitals & clinics, clinical & basic research centers, health professions programs, and health science programs) to benchmark their plans and programs, and build on the latest successes and innovations.
Date: 8 - 9 November 2010
Venue: San Diego, California, USA

11th International Symposium on the Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms (ISBGMO)
Topic: The theme of ISBGMO 11 is "The role of biosafety research in the decision making process". This symposium will bring together scientists interested in sharing results and learning from other experts in the area of biosafety research and its application to regulatory decision-making. As such, a program of workshops and talks is being developed that will encourage the exchange of scientific experiences and ideas with a focus on how biosafety research supports regulatory processes especially risk assessments and ultimately science-based decisions. This symposium affords an opportunity for those involved in the research, development, testing, regulation, assessment and management of GMOs worldwide to share experiences with colleagues from around the globe.
Date: 15 - 20 November 2010
Venue: Buenos Aires, Argentina

1st International Agricultural Biosafety and Biocontainment Symposium
Topic: Symposium organized by the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS). This symposium will focuse on animal (livestock, aquaculture and wildlife) health issue associated with agricultural research, diagnostic and response. Some possible topics will be new emerging regulatory and compliance issues, livestock and wildlife interface, one world one health, and biosafety and biocontainment issues in the field, industry and research environments.
Date: 6 - 9 February 2011
Venue: Baltimore, Maryland
