In the case of Bio-commons, developments in biotechnology rely mainly on<br>
patents as means to enable and secure innovations. The new field of<br>
synthetic biology, however, entails not only classical intellectual<br>
property protection but also attempts to establish open access and open<br>
source to key biotech methods and processes. How will the two cultures<br>
evolve? Will one approach dominate or will they coexist?<br>
<br>
Markus Schmidt will walk us through the theme of the Bio-Commons,<br>
presenting various initiatives aiming at creating a more open source<br>
environment in the biotech area, the Nagoya Protocol as a means to<br>
internationally regulate the use and conservation of genetic resources.<br>
He draws parallels from the printer movement to biotechnology, with<br>
DIYBio spearheading the movement to go beyond the producer-consumer<br>
divide.<br>

Dr. Markus Schmidt is founder and team leader of Biofaction, a research<br>
and science communication company in Vienna, Austria. With an<br>
educational background in electronic engineering, biology and<br>
environmental risk assessment he has carried out environmental risk<br>
assessment and safety and public perception studies in a number of<br>
science and technology fields such as GMcrops, gene therapy,<br>
nanotechnology, converging technologies, and synthetic biology.<br>
<br>
In addition to his scientific work, he has organized a Science Film<br>
Festival (Bio-fiction) and produced an art exhibition (synth-ethic, both<br>
2011) to explore novel and creative ideas and interpretations on the<br>
future of biotechnology.<br>
