ABC'S of GE³LS Research

GE³LS is the study of the ethical, environmental, economic, legal and social aspects of genomics.

Génome Québec’s vision is to develop strategic and integrative GE3LS studies that focus on:

• public policy;
• knowledge transfer;
• risk management;
• socioeconomic benefits;
• provincial, national and international dimensions of these aspects.

At Génome Québec, there are large-scale GE³LS projects as well as integrated GE³LS research within scientific projects.

Aside from large-scale and integrated research, Génome Québec has developed a number of initiatives to develop and promote GE³LS:

• Development of a GE³LS scientists Québec network

• Development of knowledge transfer events for the different players involved in the research, application or use of the spin-offs of genomics (forums, workshops, seminars, etc.)
