Objective
This unique initiative will utilise the skills of twenty major European institutions to enable a European tour of two biotechnology exhibitions, now being developed in Germany and the United Kingdom. The German exhibition will tour to Greece and Portugal, while the UK exhibition will tour to France and Portugal. Each exhibition will tour for one year, reaching approximately 1.5 million visitors.
These complementary exhibitions aim to inform the non-specialist public about contemporary practice in biotechnology, especially genetics. The UK exhibition looks at the science behind genetically modified food, the German exhibition looks at the basic principles of genetics and the methods of genetic engineering. Both exhibitions look at contemporary issues in these fields and discuss what the future might hold. All the texts and interactive displays in the exhibitions will be translated into the language of the countries to be visited.
Each of the twenty European partners will contribute to the project by giving advice and assistance from their own specialist areas. The partners have a wide range of expertise in biotechnology, exhibition development and touring exhibitions. Not only will this venture play a key role in the advancement of the European public's understanding of biotechnology, it will also help to develop the skills and expertise of all our partners. Through this European collaboration, we shall develop a wealth of experience and knowledge which will be invaluable in developing the touring biotechnology exhibitions of the future.
