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.
The EBS Global User Support (GUS) team successfully concluded another Train-the-Trainer course especially conducted for breeders and researchers from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) and International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).
The 2-week online sessions held on 17-28 March 2025 were attended by 14 participants stationed in Morocco, Lebanon, and Nigeria. A deep dive on the powerful features in Core Breeding, Breeding Analytics, and Core System domains were covered through demonstrations and hands-on activities.
👏 Kudos to the GUS training team: Stephanie Manrilla, Simbarashe Chisoro, Rica Mariano, Michael Gituma, Ruth Carpio, and Simon Imoro!
