CENTRE FOR RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND PROMOTION OF BIOSCIENC
Genkonekt is a Croatian non-profit organization dedicated to exploring the intersection of genetics, biotechnology and society. Our mission is to raise awareness about genetics’ transformative impact on individuals, healthcare and communities while fostering a more informed, inclusive society.
Genkonekt focuses on several key areas to ensure the societal benefits of genetic advancements:
The impact of biotechnology on society
We explore the ethical, societal and economic implications of biotechnological advancements such as gene editing and personalized medicine. By organizing public debates and providing educational resources, we ensure that society is equipped to understand both the opportunities and challenges these technologies present.
Decreasing health inequality through accessibility
Our efforts focus on bridging gaps in healthcare by educating people about genetic literacy and advocating for equitable access to medical treatments. We address the financial barriers to advanced treatments, such as IVF and genetic therapies, ensuring that healthcare is accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic status.
Promotion of an inclusive society through genetics education
We aim to reduce prejudice and misconceptions by highlighting genetic diversity as a common thread that connects all humanity. By educating the public, we promote an inclusive society where science helps break down barriers.
Biodiversity, genetically engineered food, and environmental sustainability
We emphasize the role genetics plays in biodiversity conservation, while also fostering debates on the ethical use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We highlight the role of genetics in biodiversity and encourage responsible care for natural resources. Through educational campaigns, we advocate for sustainable agricultural practices and environmental responsibility.
