Symposium - Genomics in an Open Society

About the Symposium 

Many of the advances in genomics and biotechnology are the result of
coordination between governments, universities and industries which have
been likened to intertwined strands of a triple helix. How the
configuration and dynamics of this triple helix are to be understood is
a subject of intense social and scientific debate. This conference
investigates the emergence and functioning of the triple helix, and
examines the need for civil society and its unheard voices to be
integrated and legitimised as the fourth strand in the helix. 

Come and join more than 200 philosophers, lawyers, anthropologists,
sociologists, geneticists, and many other scientists at the GE 3LS 2004
Symposium from February 5 to 7, 2004 in Vancouver!
