Life sciences play a key role in tackling global challenges

Page 7: The 21st Century - OECD

And the European Union is in a key position to deliver

Life sciences offer exciting opportunities, e.g.:

• Reproducing organs using stem cells

• Merging natural and synthetic tissues

• Applying personalised medicine

• Repairing genetic disorders

• Curing neurodegenerative diseases

• Deploying nanotechnologies in medicine

• Enhancing crops with biotechnologies (e.g. drought resistant plants)

• Producing 3rd and 4th generation biofuels

• The world has become much more complex (and, hence, confusing)

• The pace of technological change has increased

• Lack of information about the benefits of

new technologies vis-à-vis the risks

But: Many people are rather reluctant or even opposed

to new technologies

What do we need to fully deploy the opportunities

offered by life sciences?

• Smart scientists who develop

• Smart politicians who regulate

• Smart citizens who accept

Page 12: The 21st Century - OECD

OECD Forum on Global Biotechnology, Paris 12 November 2012

Communication is essential.

• We need to communicate proactively – otherwise others will fill the void

• We need to speak a language everybody understands

• We need to show empathy for public concerns and avoid being perceived as arrogant

• We need to raise our voice when science is being misused or evidence being ignored
