The Biotechnology Council is headquartered in Bergen and acts as an advisory body within the field of biotechnology. The Council provides guidance on the ethical use of biotechnology in relation to humans, animals, plants and microorganisms. By addressing current topics such as cloning, genetic testing and stem cells, they contribute to an informed public debate on biotechnology issues.
In addition to advice, the Biotechnology Council offers resources such as the Biotekpodden, which provides deeper insight into relevant topics. The Council also focuses on rights related to donors and genetic information, and actively engages in discussions that affect ethics and societal implications of biotechnology.
