Subject: Website: Access & Benefit Sharing, Good Practice for Academic
Research

***Please disseminate widely***

The Swiss Academy of Sciences just launched a new website on:
Access & Benefit Sharing,
good practice for academic research on genetic resources

 <http://abs.scnat.ch/> http://abs.scnat.ch

The purpose is to inform the academic community about the system governing
access to biological resources and the fair sharing of benefits that arise
from their use as set out by the Convention on Biological Diversity CBD.

The website explains the steps that must be taken when accessing biological
resources for research purposes. All information is based on the CBD and the
Bonn Guidelines.

The Swiss Academy of Science recently published a brochure on the Access and
Benefit ABS topic. The website is a supplementary utility aiming to
disseminate ABS knowledge. It pinpoints viable options for basic research.
The target research community is Switzerland but all information can be
adapted for other nations.

The website includes some additional features such as a marketplace where
scientists are invited to post mutually satifying research experiences and
case studies regarding genetic resources. The site also offers updates on
current international policy developments, checklists and a download area.

The Swiss Academy of Sciences advocates research in a mutually trustful
atmosphere and encourages scientists to streamline their research conduct
with existing international standards.

Your comments are most welcome. Please inform your colleagues about this new
ABS Internet resource. Please reply to abs at scnat.ch

Sincerely

Sylvia Martinez
