PRRI Members – PRRI – Public Research & Regulation Initiative

Since the establishment of the Public Research and Regulation Initiative in 2004, many public sector scientists have registered to participate in this global initiative.

PRRI Members receive updates on important developments and activities of PRRI for which they have indicated interest, can request PRRI to help seeking funding to participate in meetings on biotechnology regulation, and are encouraged to be actively involved in PRRI activities, such as participating in meetings and providing feedback on draft positions, papers, et cetera.

Membership does not necessarily mean consent with all the statements and submissions that have been made on behalf of PRRI. Statements made by PRRI indicate whether they have been made on behalf of the PRRI President, the PRRI Steering Committee or identified subsets of PRRI members (e.g. PRRI members participating in an international meeting).

Registration can be done via the registration page.
