Technical workshop: "La Genómica y su Aplicación en la Conservación y Caracterización de los Recursos Zoogenéticos” , Bogotá, Colombia, 13-17 January 2020
This course aimed to provide advanced training on the use of genomic data for the characterization of genetic diversity and understand association between genome diversity and phenotype. A team of international lecturers involved in the IMAGE project, developed a challenging program that included all relevant topics, needed to understand and make best use of genetic diversity.The course was organized by IMAGE partner, AGROSAVIA in Colombia, 13-17 January 2020. The course was entitled “Genomics and its application to conservation and characterization of animal genetic resources“, and it was attended by 40 trainees coming from different Universities and Research Institutions in Colombia and Argentina. This course was also offered in live streaming mode and allowed the attendance of further 6 trainees from Argentina, Cuba and Spain.

Post-graduate course: "Characterization, management and exploitation of genomic diversity in animals", Wageningen, Netherlands, 9-13 December, 2019
This course was organized at Wageningen University & Research from December 9 to 13, 2019. The importance of the topic attracted participants from different parts of the globe; 27 participants from Europe, Russia, China and South America. The course covered the important topics required to the characterization, management and exploitation of genomic diversity in animals.
Post-graduate Course: "Using gene bank material for livestock populations: case studies and optimisation using the MoBPS software", Paris, France 20-22 November 2019
This course was organized by AgroParisTech from November 20 to 22, 2019. It brought together 15 participants, stakeholders in the conservation of genetic resources or researchers, from 11 countries and almost all continents (Europe, Africa, Asia, South America). This course focused on the different possible scenarios for the usage of genebank resources, challenging participants with focused questions and case studies in different species.Tehcnical Workshop: "Management of livestock and poultry genetic resources within the scope of climate change", Cairo, Egypt, 3-7 November 2019
This course aimed to promote an efficient discussion forum including several stakeholders from the community in Egypt in order to make an assessment of the current status on conservation of Egyptian indigenous AnGR and develop a road map for innovative management of AnGR in Egypt.It was attended by 27 trainees, coming from different Egyptian Universities and Research Institutes and other stakeholder entities.

Post-graduate course: "Characterization, management and exploitation of genomic diversity of animals", Wageningen, Netherlands, 15-19 October 2018
This course aimed at developing capacity building in innovative analysis methods for genomic data with a strong focus on genomic diversity. The target audience consisted in PhD candidates at least in their 2nd year, post-docs and researchers interested in genomic diversity. Applicants were asked to submit an abstract describing their own. During the course, a total 28 participants from different countries (23 EU, 5 non EU) were to develop a project applying the newly acquired knowledge. Below you can access the full program as well as the lecturer’s presentations.
