FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT - 5th EIGMO Meeting<br />
<strong>IOBC</strong>/<strong>WPRS</strong> Working Group ‘GMOs in Integrated Plant Production’<br />
Ecological Impact of Genetically Modified Organisms (EIGMO)<br />
22-25 June 2011, České Budějovice, Czech Republic<br />
We are glad to announce the 5th EIGMO meeting by the <strong>IOBC</strong>/<strong>WPRS</strong> Working<br />
Group ‘GMOs in Integrated Plant Production' in the Czech Republic in 2011. The<br />
meeting will be organized by Oxana Habuštová and František Sehnal from the<br />
Biology Centre AS CR, Institute of Entomology (http://www.entu.cas.cz/en/). Please<br />
reserve these dates!<br />
The <strong>IOBC</strong>/<strong>WPRS</strong> working group aims to present a platform for exchange or research<br />
results and to stimulate collaborative projects dealing with genetically modified plants<br />
and their potential impact on the environment. For details on the objectives of this<br />
group see the <strong>IOBC</strong>/<strong>WPRS</strong> newsletter Profile Nr. 34 (http://www.iobcwprs.org/pub/index.html).<br />
The working group has hold four earlier meetings: 2003 in Prague (Czech Republic),<br />
2005 in Lleida (Spain), 2007 in Warsaw (Poland), and 2009 in Rostock (Germany).<br />
The meetings had been a great success with up to 100 participants from more than<br />
20 countries attending each meeting. Contributions from the first three meetings have<br />
been published in the <strong>IOBC</strong>/<strong>WPRS</strong> Bulletin 27(3) (2004), 29(5) 2006, 33 (2008), and<br />

activity a scientific committee has been established to put together the programme<br />
