Brazil Expert Teaching Team (ETT)

The Brazil Expert Teaching Team (ETT) consists of 32 researchers and teachers from Embrapa Institutes, universities, and other international and Brazilian organizations. All members have strong expertise and practical experience in the topics they teach.

The Brazil ETT have applied their own expertise to adapt the project teaching tools and methodologies to a Latin American audience. The ETT uses these course materials to teach advanced-level courses on ERA of GMOs for research scientists, graduate students, and regulators with a science background. The team has used the tools to teach a 5-day graduate level course at University of Viçosa, Brazil. The ETT will continue to offer this course, and is planning to expand to teach courses at other Brazilian universities.
