At the Expo also the 4. Dialogue Forum of the H2020 project IMAGE will take place. The SAVE community is highly welcomened to get information and to discuss about Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) rules in general and expecially for Animal Genetic Resources. On 26 and 27 August, the SAVE committees (Council of Cooperation Partners and Board of Directors meeting) and the SAVE Seminar will be held.
Since La Foresta is close to the Louvain University Faculty of Agriculture and Bioengineering, we plan to visit the Genebank for "Brussels Endives" and  the Banana Genebank, which is the largest in the world.
A visit to a breeder of the natural grazing Ardennes sheep and Kempens cattle is planned. Together with "Nationale Boomgaardenstichting" a fruit orchard with rare traditional fruits in Nieuwrode will be visited.
A varied program for both tha animal and the plant conservation scene awaits numerous participants!
