A student scrutinizes a display during an introduction to CIMMYT's biotechnology laboratory, part of CIMMYT's open house event "CIMMYT a Puerta Abierta". On 24 September 2010, 340 students from 18 Mexican universities visited the center's headquarters at El Batán, Mexico, where they toured the facilities while learning about CIMMYT’s mission and work. The aim of the event was to encourage students already interested in agricultural development as well as to inspire those who perhaps were unsure of their future careers.

Modern algal biotechnology is largely motivated by technocracy in response to food and energy crises. This biotechnological work seeks the utilization of microalgae not for technocratic ends but for a reconstruction of social practice at an ‘ecosophical’ intersection, as advocated by Félix Guattari (1989/2000) by weaving the three domains of the natural environment (photosynthesis of microalgae), social relations (digital printing), and mind (creative process of making).

This side event celebrated successes achieved by Member States in applying nuclear techniques towards the achievement of food security and crop adaptation to climate change. After speeches by IAEA and FAO DGs, DG Grossi honoured the 28 awardees from 20 Member States by giving their certificates to their respective ambassadors. Awards were in three categories: Outstanding Achievement, Women in Plant Mutation Breeding and Young Scientists. Several Ambassadors who took the floor at the event praised the work of the IAEA and the FAO.

"u19 CREATE YOUR WORLD" is Ars Electronica's new "festival within a festival" for young people. It's brimming with interesting possibilities: building a dream machine out of electronic junk, using your own physical power to generate electric current or analyzing a DNA sequence. Those are only a few of the things you can discover and try out at the u19 CREATE YOUR WORLD labs and workshops. Biotechnology, robotics and media art are the experimental fields in which knowledge-thirsty members of the up-and-coming generation can design their futuristic scenarios. Or young festivalgoers can spontaneously slip into a new role and try their hand at, say, artisan, journalist or computer game developer.
