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.
From September 8–12, 2025, IRRI hosted a Train-the-Trainers program on the Enterprise Breeding System (EBS), empowering PhilRice participants to master EBS as part of their system, advanced integrations, and breeding data workflows. By preparing them as future trainers, the event strengthens capacity and drives wider adoption of digital innovations in rice breeding.
Rodolfo emphasized that “EBS doesn’t just make breeding or research easier—it shifts the focus from process management to actual discovery, which is the heart of research.”
