Following our mission to build biotechnology capacities within the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-BIOLAC aims to help prepare and capacitate professionals. As of April 1st, 2025, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-BIOLAC will be accepting applications for the organization of training courses or the conduction of 3-month fellowships in research centres in Latin America and the Caribbean. These academic activities are to be executed during the first semester of 2026.
Training courses are to be co-funded by ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-BIOLAC throughout the LAC countries and carried out by highly qualified academics and researchers in the diverse fields of biotechnology. Applications are sought from biotechnology researchers who combine the highest level of research excellence with a demonstrated passion for delivering social impact from biotechnology. The role to be played by our academic collaborators is of great importance for the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-BIOLAC mission. Our goal is to empower and support qualified professionals in implementing live academic activities all over the region and to incorporate them as allies of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-BIOLAC, the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ and the United Nations.
