The Biosafety Research Communication Network (BIOSAFENET) is a pro-GM lobby network that says its goal is to offer

robust public information on the biosafety research conducted on genetically modified plants. BIOSAFENET and other European initiatives contribute to the bundling of biosafety knowledge from various EU research programmes and from existing European GMO biosafety networks.[1]

BIOSAFENET is headed by Professor Joachim Schiemann.[2]

Schiemann claims "the project is not pro or con genetically modified organisms."[3]

Project partners

  • Julius Kühn Institute, JKI, Germany
  • International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, ICGEB, Italy
  • Agricultural Research Centre of Hungarian Academy of Sciences, ARI, Hungary
  • Genius GmbH, GENIUS, Germany
  • National Hellenic Research Foundation, NHRF, Greece[4]

Funding

BIOSAFENET was previously funded with EU public money.[5] As at January 2011 it is unclear whether this funding continues.
