The following 10th of September, the iGEM team of Maastricht University, in collaboration
will be organizing an Open Debate about the role of GMOs in society. This
debate will take place in Kaleido ( Tapijnkazerne 21, Maastricht), and it will feature four
speakers who have a significant professional relationship with GMOs. This panel of
professionals will be composed by Dr. Massimiliano Simons, Dr. Erik Steen Redeker, Dr.
Tsjalling Swierstra, and a last speaker that will be revealed later on. We look forward to the
assistance of as many people as possible, since it will be an open debate in which the public
will be encouraged to participate in the argument and to give their own arguments regarding the role that GMOs should play in society both today and in the future.
