6th GNP HuB Meeting

German Research Foundation supports institutions with compliance

6th Meeting of the GNP HuB Network

The 6th meeting of the GNP HuB Network, which took place in March 2022, was co-organized with the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG).

 

The DFG knows that ABS and the Nagoya Protocol present a major challenge for researchers

The DFG has been following ABS and the Nagoya Protocol for a long time and it represents the interests of the academic research community in the relevant political processes.

The DFG has also taken a proactive approach to address low awareness levels among researchers and to help with understanding and dealing with their ABS obligations. This includes developing guidelines and tools, i.e. model clauses.

 

New guidelines – help for German academic institutions 

The EU Regulation creates obligations at the individual and institutional level.

The DFG’s latest publication is a set of guidelines to help German academic institutions with understanding their obligations.

The new guidelines are available on DFG’s website.

Implementation takes time

Ensuring compliance with ABS and the EU Regulation at the institutional level is not easy. Although the DFG guidelines have been very important for raising awareness, especially at the management level, it will take time before all institutions have fully addressed all aspects.

For more details about the meeting, see the full report here.

 

The next Stammtisch will take place in June 2022.
