kloone4000 The art of cloning Cloning has the property to be heavily prejudiced and criticized and to appeal to the imagination. In the kloone4000 project, artists and scientists work together to overcome the boundaries of theoretical language and to reach out to the public in an emotional, non-judgmental way: through art. The project takes place in the Retort projectspace in Amsterdam. A part of the retort project space will be set as an exhibition. Most of the artists, who were invited to present their work in the exhibition, are also important in the research project. Next to the exhibition, specialists on the field of cloning will give several lectures and there are possibilities to debate different viewpoints on cloning. The event will take place from 1 September to 15 October at the Retort projectspace. For more information, please visit http://www.kloone.anjeroosjen.com.	GeNeYouS Café What do you think about Intelligent Design GeNeYouS organizes its first GeNeYouS Café! At this Café you can meet the other GeNeYouS members on an informal basis. This evening is ideal for some networking or just having a good time, while discussing fundamental issues of life sciences. During this evening several experts give an introduction on Intelligent Design, and its recent impact on public opinion. The GeNeYouS members will then debate their own point of view on Intelligent Design with a free drink and some (enriched) snacks. The first GeNeYouS Café is organized on September 22, in Café Lofen (near the Domtoren, Utrecht) and will start at 19:00.

Genomics Momentum – Young Researchers Program Genomic future in Health The Genomics Momentum, organized by the Netherlands Genomics Initiative, will this year take place on October 5, in the Netherlands Congress Centre in The Hague.

Genomics Momentum – Afterparty Young researchers meet young entrepreneurs After the Genomics Momentum, GeNeYous organizes together with the Network for Young Entrepreneurs in Life Sciences (YelsNet) an exciting afterparty. During an informal dinner, there is a chance to meet young entrepreneurs on the field of life sciences and exchange views and ideas.
General Assembly Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one The next General Assembly is planned October 27. Before the general meeting, a workshop will be given by Maarten van den Berg. In 3 hours he will discuss the optimal techniques for communicating and for coordinating groups.
