PlantEd – COST Action CA18111 – Genome editing in plants

WG4 – Perceptions and Opinions

Working Group 4 will collect and analyse surveys performed among various stakeholder groups as well as the public in many European countries and beyond, in order to assess the perceived potential, risks, knowledge about, and attitudes toward the application of genome editing in plant breeding. Through outreach activities, the Action will also promote a widely improved understanding of genome editing and its use in plant research and breeding, taking advantage of the wide international coverage of the network of participants.

WG4 leader: Prof Tomasz Twardowski, twardows@ibch.poznan.pl
