The symposium on August 24th included excellent presentations by the Swedish Minister for Education and Science, Thomas Östros, and two Directors from the European Commission DG Research, Dr. Christian Patermann and Dr. Rainer Gerold. Many prominent scientists such as Professor Philip J Dale, Professor Ingo Potrykus, Professor Mathias Uhlén and Assistant Professor Marie Allen also gave excellent and insightful presentations. There was also an insightful and thought-provoking introduction to the discussion on genetic integrity by Archbishop KG Hammar. The two round table discussions on
genetically modified crops and genetic integrity were extremely interesting and lively, with many different views being voiced and many questions asked and answered.
