Making science understandable
Creating space to explain bioscience innovations, explore their possibilities and limitations, and share communication experiences.
Bringing people together to strengthen biosciences communication
The Africa Biennial Biosciences Communication (ABBC) symposium is convened by ISAAA AfriCenter. It brings together scientists, policymakers, regulators, journalists, farmers and other stakeholders to exchange experiences and strengthen communication about bioscience innovations.
Across six editions from 2015 to 2025, ABBC has explored agricultural biotechnology, biosafety, genome editing and the relationship between science, communication and public trust. These gatherings have created opportunities to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges and build connections across disciplines and countries.
