From 8–13 September 2025, IRRI conducted Enterprise Breeding System (EBS) End-User Training in Tanzania, engaging researchers from IRRI and TARI across Uyole and Dakawa stations. Led by Michael Gituma, the sessions enhanced digital capacity, strengthened collaboration, and empowered participants to apply EBS for more efficient, data-driven breeding practices.
From September 8–12, 2025, IRRI hosted a Train-the-Trainer program on the Enterprise Breeding System (EBS) for PhilRice selected staff. The five-day course-built skills in system management and data handling, empowering participants to strengthen institutional capacity, promote EBS adoption, and advance collaborative, data-driven breeding across national programs.
The Second International Symposium on Data-driven Intelligent Breeding in Maize showcased how digital innovation is transforming crop improvement. CGIAR’s Breeding Resources Digital Solutions team presented the Enterprise Breeding System, highlighting its role in accelerating breeding cycles, advancing data-driven decisions, and strengthening global collaboration for resilient, food-secure futures.
🌱 Following the launch of Breeding for Tomorrow (B4T) at the CGIAR Science Week in Nairobi, Kenya on 08 April 2025, representatives from the B4T and Breeding Resources (BR) teams also hosted the shared booth to connect and network with breeders and researchers.
🚀 During the event, the Enterprise Breeding System (EBS) team also showcased how it can transform crop breeding to drive faster breeding cycles and data-driven decisions for a food-secure future. EBS is CGIAR’s preferred breeding data management system. It features a single and powerful data management solution tailored for the demands of a modern breeding enterprise.
