Current position
Since 1991, Joachim Schiemann has worked at the Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (BBA), Brunswick, Germany.
[1] [2] Through a re­structuring of German research institutes, the BBA became part of the Julius Kühn­Institut (JKI). Here Schiemann is head of the
Institute for Biosafety of Genetically Modified Plants. This includes research for and advice to the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer
protection (BMELV). According to the Julius Kühn­Institut website:
The activities of the institute result from the gene technology law, the plant protection law, relevant legal orders, and from the research plan of the
Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV). They especially deal with risk assessment and monitoring of GM
organisms as well as co­existence of cultivation systems with and without GM plants. The institute is involved in the authorisation of the
deliberate release and placing on the market of GM organisms. Biosafety research, research accompanying the release of GM crop plants and
monitoring serve to investigate safety aspects and possible effects of GM plants on nature and sustainable agriculture. The institute gives advice
to the government, mainly BMELV, with regard to safety aspects of gene technology and co­existence. It co­ordinates the biosafety research on
GM organisms within the Julius Kühn­Institute and within BMELV’s research area. [3]
Since 1998, he has been coordinator of the BBA (now JKI) working group “Monitoring accompanying the cultivation of genetically modified plants in
the agroecosystem” in which, among other issues, scientists, representatives of the different federal agencies and of biotech companies developed a
questionnaire for farmers as a way of conducting post­market monitoring. [4]
A similar questionnaire was used by Monsanto for the post­market monitoring of GM maize MON810 cultivation and was considered to be insufficient
by the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) when it stopped the sale of MON810 seed in April 2007. [5] As coordinator he
published several papers published on GMO monitoring, including farm questionnaires.
In 2001­04 he was the project leader on a related project, "Concept and methods for post­market monitoring of genetically modified plants: Issues not
confined to a single Land or crop". [6] On this topic he often works with Kerstin Schmidt (BioMath, BioOK and FINAB; Rostock, Germany), for
example, on the publication of articles.
As BBA/JKI scientist, Schiemann is partner in numerous German and EU research projects. In some cases these projects included the development
of genetic engineering methods and GM plants.
Schiemann is a lector at the University of Lüneburg, since 2005 as an honorary professor.
