Dear participants,

Thank you all very much for your contributions to the discussions and for your active participation. The online discussions on “Review of a module on public education regarding LMOs” are now closed. Please note that all the postings will remain in the Online Forum on Public Education regarding LMOs.

A synthesis of the information shared through the online discussions will be prepared and made available through the Online Forum. The themes on public education regarding LMOs will also be developed as an e-learning module in the SCBD e-Learning Platform at https://scbd.unssc.org/course/index.php?categoryid=9. We would also encourage you to once again participate in the online module on public participation regarding LMOs and access to biosafety information if you have not yet done so.

We look forward to your continued contribution to the implementation of the programme of work on public awareness, education and participation concerning the safe transfer, handling and use of LMOs and its priority areas/activities. For more information about the programme of work, please visit http://bch.cbd.int/protocol/cpb_art23_pow.shtml.

We also invite you once again to share information in the Biosafety Clearing-House under the following databases/catagories: academically-accredited biosafety courses at http://bch.cbd.int/database/results?searchid=664162, journals and newsletters; and teaching materials (manuals, toolkits and presentations) at http://bch.cbd.int/database/results?searchid=676672 and academic and research institutes at http://bch.cbd.int/database/results?searchid=676698
