| Genetic Biocontrol for Invasive Species Invasive species can pose a threat to the environment, agriculture or human health. Most governmental approaches to control the spread of invasive species are focused on preventing new introductions. However, efforts to address the control of invasive species once they have become established have met with limited success. Genetic biocontrol of invasive species may offer a new opportunity to go beyond prevention and begin to reduce or eliminate invasive species through genetic strategies. Organized by the ILSI Research Foundation, this workshop will highlight different approaches to the control of invasive species that make use of transgenic and nontransgenic organisms designed for introduction into a target population in order to reduce or eliminate it. The presentations given on these various approaches will compare them with respect to efficacy, biosafety, practicality, cost, and time frame for implementation. This workshop is sponsored by the OECD Co-operative Research Programme on Biological Resource Management for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, whose financial support made it possible for some of the invited speakers to participate in the workshop.

| Workshop for government regulatory scientists working on GMOs’ The aim of this workshop is to explore developing a ‘community of practice’-type forum for regulators where regulatory scientists could share information relevant to risk analysis. The workshop is a closed workshop for government regulatory staff, to aid the ability to share issues and ideas.
