A half-day event exploring how to build public trust in biotechnology across Europe, presenting results from the B-Trust project and feeding into the debate around the European Biotech Act II.

As the European Commission prepares the European Biotech Act II the debate on biotechnology in Europe is increasingly focused not only on innovation potential, but also on the conditions needed for uptake to be trusted, understood, and socially relevant

 The B-Trust Final Event will bring together policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, civil society and other key stakeholders to explore how co-creation and trust-building measures can support biotechnology acceptance in Europe. Alongside the presentation of the project’s results, the event will provide space to connect evidence, share practical experiences, and exchange perspectives on future policy and practice.  

The programme includes 

  • Co-creation in practice: what B-Trust tested and what others can use 
  • Consumer perspectives: insights from consumer studies 
  • Ethics, trust and societal expectations  
  • Principles and measures for building trust on biotechnology  
  • Lessons from implementation: what others are taking forward 
  • Key takeaways on uptake, stakeholder engagement and trust building 
  • European Biotech Act II considerations: high-level roundtable discussion 

After lunch, the programme will continue at the same venue with two additional sessions, Next-Gen Food Roadmaps and IPCEI (Important Projects of Common European Interest) workshop, which you are also welcome to attend.
