Speed Debating

Overview

"Will the world be a safe place if we make biology easy to engineer? How do the lessons of the past inform the discussion going forward? Think beyond just convincing people that 'synthetic biology is good'."

Inspired by these quotes from the iGEM website, this year we set out to ‘challenge’ public perceptions about genetically modified organisms and inform people about synthetic biology by hosting a debate.

We're inviting you to voice your opinion at an evening of speed debating. Deliberate the question “Should plastic pollution be tackled by GMO?” in a relaxed setting. Experts from marine biology, environmental groups and bioethics will be present, giving you the insider's point of view. Join us for an evening of debate and drinks!
