早在10年前,很多科学家就认识到生物技术和遗传工程将在某种程度上给第三世界国家解决一些紧迫问题,如健康、营养和经济发展等,并且投入较少。因此,1982年,旨在促进发展中国家工业发展的联合国工业发展组织(UNIDO)35个成员国在贝尔格莱德的会议上同意创建一个针对发展中国家的遗传工程和生物技术研究和培训中心。1983年,包括中国在内的43个国家在马德里在中心章程上签了字。于是国际遗传工程和生物技术中心(ICGEB)在由各成员国代表组成的筹委会管理下,作为UNIDO的一个特殊项目开始了活动。中心章程还规定,在有24个国家批准后,ICGEB将成为自治性的政府间组织。
As early as 10 years ago, many scientists recognized that biotechnology and genetic engineering will to some extent give Third World countries some pressing issues such as health, nutrition and economic development, with less investment. Thus, in 1982, the 35 member nations of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aimed at promoting industrial development in developing countries agreed at Belgrade to create a center for genetic engineering and biotechnological research and training aimed at developing countries. In 1983, 43 countries, including China, signed the constitution of the center in Madrid. As a result, the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) started its activities as a special UNIDO project under the management of a PC formed by representatives of member countries. The charter also provides that after 24 ratifications, the ICGEB will become an autonomous intergovernmental organization.
