TalTech – Tallinn University of Technology Bioengineering team and University of Tartu hosted a course on bioethics under the umbrella of Estonian Centre for Biosustainability at Institute of Bioengineering.
📖 Over the course of two days, our staff and students were educated on the topics of responsible research, data management, GMOs, consent and biological samples, animal testing, novel foods, biosafety and international protocols such as Cartagena and Nagoya.
🧫 The participants had a chance to visit the premises of yet to be build biofoundry, the laboratories of gas fermentation and wood valorization and peek behind the doors of BSL3 laboratory in University of Tartu. The programme was complemented with group work and teaming activites.
