TAGC’s goal is to communicate genetic knowledge in an accessible way and to address its ethical and legal issues – to enable everyone to benefit from genetic discoveries. To achieve this, TAGC brings together efforts from scientists, media, lawyers and policy makers. It also provides key information in an accessible way, and training and consultations at different levels.

The establishment of The Accessible Genetics Consortium (TAGC) was inaugurated at the international conference, Building Bridges: mobilising international interdisciplinary science to benefit societies, held at Goldsmiths (see Goldsmiths’ report here). TAGC has been joined by other research bodies, and we welcome collaborations worldwide.
