     Title: EC Workshop on SynBio: From Science to Governance
On 18-19 March 2010, in Brussels, the European Commission's Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO) is organising a workshop on synthetic biology.



The aim of this workshop is to provide a clear overview of existing developments and to try to foresee the likely time-scale of future applications. Furthermore, it will be a good opportunity to discuss the main challenges (in governance, social, ethical and legal issues) facing the field of synthetic biology as well as the possible approaches for tackling these challenges.
