1. INTRODUCTION
A la suite des di.fférents sommets de l’organisation de la Conférence
Islamique ( OCI), il a été constitué de nombreuses structures dépendant
du Comité permanent intermini stér ici su1 La Coopération Sci.entifique et
Technique ((XMSI’ECH). Parmi. ces structures, la Fondation Islamique pour
la Science, la Technique et le Développement (IFSTAD) est chargée de mettre
en place les réseaux inter-islamiques défini:; par le COMSTECH pour les
domaines suivants :
- Océanographie
- Génie génétique et l~i.c!technologi(~
- Méctec ine tropicale
- Hydraulique
- Science et Technique de l’Espace
- Energie renouvelable.
L’ISBA étant désigné comme poi.nt focal du réseau Génie Génétique et
Biotechnologie a-l Sénégal, notre mission consistait à représenter le
Sénégal, pays membre de I’OCl, à la réunion constitutive de ce réseau.
Il faut noter qule le point. focal d’un réseau au niveau d’un pays membre
de 1’OCI est, un institut chargé dcb coordonner toutes les activités et
informations relevant du domaine 4’ étude du réseau considéré.
Au cours de cette réunion, le réseau i.nter-is:Lamique “Gén&i.que et

A la suite des di.fférents sommets de l’organisation de la Conférence
Islamique ( OCI), il a été constitué de nombreuses structures dépendant
du Comité permanent intermini stér ici su1 La Coopération Sci.entifique et
Technique ((XMSI’ECH). Parmi. ces structures, la Fondation Islamique pour
la Science, la Technique et le Développement (IFSTAD) est chargée de mettre
en place les réseaux inter-islamiques défini:; par le COMSTECH pour les
domaines suivants :
- Océanographie
- Génie génétique et l~i.c!technologi(~
- Méctec ine tropicale
- Hydraulique
- Science et Technique de l’Espace
- Energie renouvelable.
L’ISBA étant désigné comme poi.nt focal du réseau Génie Génétique et
Biotechnologie a-l Sénégal, notre mission consistait à représenter le
Sénégal, pays membre de I’OCl, à la réunion constitutive de ce réseau.
Il faut noter qule le point. focal d’un réseau au niveau d’un pays membre
de 1’OCI est, un institut chargé dcb coordonner toutes les activités et
