Welcome to Bioscience Education Canada

Bioscience Education Canada (BEC) is a national non-profit charitable organization with a mandate to improve the quality of bioscience education in Canadian schools and encourage more young Canadians to pursue studies and careers of Canada's growing bioeconomy. Our mission with our partners is to build a 'made in Canada' solution to the education of young people and to better inform the public about biotechnology.

The National Bioscience Educators’ Conference 2010 (NBEC) was a great success. Conference topics included the Promise of Biotechnology for the 21st century, Agricultural Biotechnology, Genomics, Infectious Disease, Careers and Skills Development, Video Gaming, Integration of Technology in Education and Bioscience in Space. Tours were generously provided by many institutes in Winnipeg and Genome Prairie provided a viewing of the movie “The Cancer Warrior”. For a full list of topics, see the NBEC Program (pdf).

Mark your calendars for NBEC in February 2011.
