Dear all
From December 2 to 14, 2013, we are again
offering THE INTERNATIONAL POLLINATION COURSE, a
two-week workshop to be presented at the Mucugê,
Chapada Diamantina. This course has been offered
in Latin America since about 1990, previously in
Mexico and Costa Rica, and since 2003 in Brazil.
The main purpose of the course is to provide
participants with sufficient knowledge in
pollination biology and ecology. The course
concerns both the animal and plant sides to
pollination, and introduces practical
considerations in bee management, and crop
production. The course is hard work almost every
day, with an intensive series of lectures; short
field excursions explore flowers and pollinators
in the general area and field trips to see crop
pollination. Participants will also plan (with
the instructors), execute and complete small
projects. And at the end of the course present
their findings to the whole course.
As the instructional team will be international
it will be required at the participants to have
basic skills on comprehension and reading English.
The application form 2009 is available. Fill it
and send it to <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]
Detailed information will be presented in the
course website:
