The World Life Sciences Forum, BioVision, is an international platform for dialogue, debates and proposals concerning major issues in Life Sciences. BioVision’s mission is also to provide objective information to the public regarding the questions raised by progress in Life Sciences and their applications.

The "fil rouge" for the 2007 Forum will be:

"The Contribution of Life Sciences to the Millennium Development Goals"

In 2000, at the United Nations Assembly, 189 world heads of State and Government agreed to a set of time bound and measurable goals and targets for combating poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women. Now called the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), they provide a framework not only for the UN system and Governements, but also for industry, science and civil society to work coherently together towards a common challenge. BioVision will take a proactive leadership role in stimulating the appropriate contribution of Life Sciences to achieve these Goals. Two-thirds of the 2007 Forum sessions will be dedicated to addressing the Millennium Development Goals and one-third to the cutting edge developments in Life Sciences.
