Dear X
Hoping this email finds you well, I am contacting you in the framework of a project I am conducting for the Austrian seed savers' association Arche Noah to build & strengthen the movement in Europe to stop patents on seeds, plants and animals.
The project aims to grow the campaign against patents on seeds, plants and animals, by building policy and advocacy capacity on intellectual property rights that impact seed and food systems. As a platform for information and discussion, the workshop will bring together stakeholders that can contribute to strengthening the movement against patents on conventional breeding in countries of strategic relevance in the European Patent Organisation's Administrative Council.
The dates are now fixed as follows for the two-parts webinar series targeting the Ireland & UK region :
v Technical training & legislative update: Friday 12th March 2021 from 09:00 until 11:00 am GMT (10:00 until 12:00 am CET)
v Campaign history, current options & next steps : Friday 19th March 2021 from 09:00 until 10:30 am GMT (10:00 until 11:30 am CET)
The full (provisional) programme is attached to this email.
You can register to both webinars using this link https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tvmpatA_TEWW3l73BK3-Ww by 9th March 2020 : https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tvmpatA_TEWW3l73BK3-Ww
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar(s).
Do not hesitate to forward this email to individuals and organisations engaged in seed saving, farming, or other parts of the food chain, as well as civil society movements with an interest and expertise in food systems, corporate control, or seed policy in Ireland & the United Kingdom. Get in touch with me or with Katherine DOLAN (Katherine.dolan@arche-noah.at mailto:Katherine.dolan@arche-noah.at ) if you have any questions.
Kindest Regards,
