3. Panel on biotechnology.

Development had to be sustainable over time and could only be achieved through the use of modern technologies such as space technology, biotechnology and information technology.

E. Biotechnology

103. Training courses were organized under UNU BIOLAC, the UNU Programme for Biotechnology in Latin America and the Caribbean, at leading biotechnology centres in Argentina, Guatemala, Mexico and Venezuela.

E. Making effective use of existing technologies, especially ICTs and biotechnologies

In brief, the combination of biofuel and biomass technologies offers greater environmental benefits and the two technologies complement each other.

Biotechnology is promoted through the use of environmentally sound materials.

5. Developments in biotechnology

Reports of the panel on biotechnology

Genetic engineering coupled with polymer physiotechnology coupled with xenotransplantation.

For the purposes of the GT Act, a GMO is a viable biological entity that has been modified by modern genetic techniques, or an organism that has inherited the traits of another organism modified by such techniques.

The Commission's work on biotechnology led to the creation of the Inter Agency Task Force on Biotechnology in 2004.

Applications of biotechnology for development

That's bioprocessing, you know that's bio assisted technology using an organism to do your wastewater treatment is an old, old technology called domestication.

Further technical aspects of the process

Due attention was also given to biotechnology, advanced materials and biofuels.

The Biotechnology Promise Capacity Building for Participation of Developing Countries in the Biotechnology, New York and Geneva.

Significant new investments and human resources development will be required in biotechnology, especially in the developing world.

An ECLAC Andean Development Corporation project linking biotechnology and biodiversity addresses the issue in three steps (a) an analysis of markets for the utilization of biodiversity platforms through technology applications in the Andean region (b) an assessment of the biotechnology capacity in the Andean region and (c) a set of policy recommendations for strengthening biotechnology capacities.

For example, modern techniques of genetic engineering also known as biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology, or genetic modification (GM) provide the tools to make old plants do spectacular new things. Yet these tools are relentlessly misrepresented to the public.

While IAEA does not have a separate biotechnology programme, it promotes biotechnology where appropriate, to further nuclear applications.

The following biotechnological experiments were conducted

Survey of advanced biotechnology techniques

2. The 1990 report contained assessments of trends and developments in five major fields nuclear technology, space technology, materials technology, information technology and biotechnology.

An advanced two week training course on the application of biotechnical processes was held at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in Cuernavaca in October.

In the biotechnology sector, which was experiencing steady growth, a national forum for biotechnology competitiveness had been set up in September 2004.

UN Biotech was set up after the holding of the Global Forum by relevant United Nations agencies carrying out biotechnology related activities.

The Asian and Pacific Centre for Transfer of Technology, a subsidiary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, in collaboration with the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, has established the Biotechnology Information Network in Asia and the Pacific. With national focal points in 14 countries, the Network facilitates knowledge sharing, technology development and technology transfer, and promotes the development of biotechnology industries.

The Biotechnology Action Council programme of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is focused on the applications of biotechnology in plants and marine life.

The Technical Cooperation Network on Plant Biotechnology in Latin America and the Caribbean was established in 1990 to accelerate the adaptation, generation, transfer and application of plant biotechnology in relieving crop production constraints and in ensuring genetic resources conservations for the countries in the region.

The good news is that the same technology that allowed miniaturization of electronics is now allowing us to miniaturize biological laboratories.

(g) Technology transfer was a two way process.
