[Nhcoll-l] AIBS Webinar on the Nagoya Protocol: Register Now

[Jyotsna Pandey]

The Nagoya Protocol is a multilateral treaty that sets up a legal framework
for utilizing genetic resources. It should be a part of every researcher's
thinking, from how to conduct research, to manage collections, and how to
work with partners. Even for researchers based in the United States,
familiarity with the Protocol, and what it requires, is important as
provider countries may have rules/regulations/laws that carry obligations
that apply to samples even after they have left the country, such as
restrictions on use, third party transfer, and tracking of any shared
benefits.

Please join us on Thursday, February 27 when Patrick Reilly, from the U.S.
Department of State, conducts a webinar on the Protocol; offering a short
history of how the Protocol was developed, what it actually says (and what
it doesn't), the difference between monetary and non-monetary benefit
sharing, and how the U.S. government can help. Following the presentation,
Patrick will be taking questions from webinar participants.
