On behalf of our MIRRI-ERIC partner, the Institut Pasteur, we are pleased to share an important initiative within the SuS-MIRRI Network.
We invite all national partners and stakeholders to attend two key webinars exploring the future of Digital Sequence Information (DSI) in the context of international policy and benefit-sharing frameworks. These events are part of a broader discussion on the governance of biological databases—crucial tools for global health, food security, conservation, and research.
🎙 Webinar Title:
Implications of international policy decisions on DSI benefit-sharing for biological database managers
🌍 Why it matters:
Genetic databases are vital for scientific progress and societal benefit—but as new international regulations emerge, including from the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, database managers must understand how their operations and legal responsibilities may change.
