The Future of Biotechnology in International PoliticsWorkshop: December 16, 2006On December 16, 2006, the Berkeley - Duke New Era Foreign Policy Project, in cooperation with the Council on Foreign Relations, held a workshop on the evolving role of biotechnology and the life sciences in international politics. The workshop brought together a variety of life sciences stakeholders, active in the fields of international security, global public health, innovation and drug development, medicine, philanthropy, regulatory policy, intellectual property, and demography. The goal was to collectively chart the complex tradeoffs that will develop over the next three to five years, as the policy goals of different life science constituencies come into much closer contact. A follow-up workshop has been scheduled for Spring 2007. |
