he first of September we will host the “Meeting of young minds” kick-off, the Preparation of Minds for the [http://www.rathenau.nl/en/agenda/meetings/meeting-of-young-minds.html Jamboree event Friday, Sept. 30]. This day is organized in collaboration with initiator the Rathenau Instituut. This institute stimulates the research and debate on science and technology. All day long the political youth parties and all Dutch iGEM teams will listen to talks about the future of synthetic biology and bio ethics. There will also be a short discussion on different views towards these still developing standards. The speakers will be most Dutch iGEM teams (Amsterdam, Wageningen, Delft), TU Delft professor Luuk van der Wielen ([http://www.be-basic.org/ BE Basic]), Politician Chantal Gillard, Wageningen University Professor Henk van der Belt and COGEM’s bio-safety specialist Huib de Vriend.

The 30th of September the Rathenau Instituut will organise the “Meeting of young Minds” day in collaboration with the European iGEM Committee 2011. As a warm-up for the jamboree iGEM participants can debate with young Dutch politicians on the future of synthetic biology. The Rathenau Instituut supports the political youth organizations with opportunities and information to prepare for the debate.
