The International Conference on Knowledge Management in Agricultural Biotechnology: The Asian Experience will attempt to initiate an integrated regional knowledge management (KM) base through North-South and South-South sharing of research, experiences and lessons on KM interventions in biotechnology research, including technology transfer and adoption. Its end goal is to inform policy and programs in R&D on agricultural biotechnology.

Specifically, the conference is hoped to provide an avenue where key actors in the science and technology of biotechnology may:

1. Share experiences and lessons on advocacy, dissemination, capacity building, and networking on agricultural biotechnology, as well as its application/adoption, thereby reflecting on its relevant knowledge management schemes and framework/s in Asia;
2. Update themselves on KM models and practices applicable to the contemporary issues and challenges facing agriculture R&D and agri-based industries; and
3. Discuss KM arrangements and identify priority, collaborative KM initiatives in agricultural biotechnology for Asia;
