Through the Institutional Program of Internationalization (PrInt-UFSC of CAPES) the Postgraduate Program in Plant Genetic Resources (RGV-UFSC) offered two courses with in-person tuition ensuring all sanitary precautions at the Ressacada Experimental Farm of UFSC, Tapera, Florianópolis (fazenda.ufsc.br/localizacao).
- The courses were offered as in-person classes, providing special epidemiological safety precautions including proof of full Covid vaccination of all participants, efficient room ventilation in ample classrooms during the parts of classes held inside, mask mandate, spacing among participants, sanitary disinfectant available throughout.

However, this does not replace the need to formally enroll via the secretary of your own postgraduate program at the latest until the Friday before the start of the course (or directly with the RGV secretary, if you are not currently enrolled as a regular postgraduate student).
