We invite you to an information session about the implications of the Nagoya Protocol for researchers working with biological material from abroad.

Institutions from around the word recognize the importance of compliance with this international framework and supports its implementation. In this information event, the German Nagoya Protocol HuB project will share its expertise with you and give you relevant insights and necessary information to assess whether your research might also have ABS obligations to take into consideration.

During this information event, we will go step by step through what researchers need to know and do to be compliant with any obligations stemming from the Nagoya Protocol and the EU ABS regulation. You will hear about the user checks that have already started in Germany, what are some of the direct consequences for being non-compliant (e.g. fines, embargo of material and publications, etc.), and tools and tips already available for you to use and inform yourself. We will also have plenty of time for you to ask questions
