On 18-20 October 2006, a workshop entitled "Los derechos de propiedad intelectual en el ámbito de los recursos fitogenéticos", on intellectual property rights (IPRs) in relation to plant genetic resources was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Presentations from the workshop, which also considered the role of IPRs in transfer of technologies, including biotechnologies, are now available on the web. The workshop was organised by FODEPAL, in collaboration with REDBIO, both of which are projects based at the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean in Santiago, Chile.
