BRAHMS TRAINING COURSE


HERBARIUM VNM
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL BIOLOGY
A training course on BRAHMS is going to be conducted at the herbarium VNM of the Institute of Tropical Biology during 17-22 August 2009. The purpose of the course is to provide a comprehensive BRAHMS training course for plant herbarium management and research with potential participants from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.  
No

The course will cover all topics included in the BRAHMS training guide, last updated May 2009. The priority of training courses is to achieve participant comprehension so that following the course, there is a high degree of self-sufficiency. Broadly, the course will include the following:

 

  • Pre-course discussion (also by email) concerning priorities.
  • Pre-course data processing – if relevant. This can be useful if data are available in different formats and participants want to use these data for training purposes.
  • Introduction and ppt presentations summarizing the categories of data managed in BRAHMS and a review of potential outputs that can be generated by a database.
  • Step by step exercises, tasks and demonstrations following the guide contents provided in Annex 1.
  • Course summing up and planning for next steps with data entry.
  • Post course assistance as required by email.

 

The trainer is Mr. Denis Filer from Oxford University (to know more about him, see http://dps.plants.ox.ac.uk/plants/Staff/DenisFiler.aspx). All necessary software will be provided including map data, mapping software as required to suit local preferences and sample databases. The trainees should bring their own laptops (preferrably) or share using the computers available at VNM during the course. Ideally, Google Earth is installed on participants' computers.

 

The language used in the course will be English although interpretation (English-Vietnamese) may be provided by VNM in some critical situations.

 

While the costs for the trainer and the trainees already selected from Cambodia and Laos are covered by the Sud-Expert-Plantes with technical support from the Institut de Reserche pour la Dévelopment (France), the Vietnamese participants are expected to cover all the costs related to the training course (travel, hotel, food, photocopy of training materials, ect.). The cost of the photocopied materials will be known later as they will be made some days before the course.

 

Vietnamese participants must fill the following request form and send it to Dr. Luu Hong Truong, curator of VNM, by 31 July 2009:

 

- Full name of participant:

- Position:

- Institution:

- Contact details: post address, email, telephone, telephone and fax number.

 

Because of the limited space in VNM, only one participant from each Vietnamese institution is invited for this training course. The total number of participants will be less than 30.

 

Participants can ask VNM for help in booking a suitable hotel in HCMC during the course.
