Training and Capacity Building Program in BSL-3 Laboratory

The National Research Center for Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will host the Training and Capacity Building Program in BSL-3 Laboratory from August 25 to 28, 2025, at the CNPEM campus in Campinas, São Paulo.

The activities will take place in a training laboratory designed to simulate BSL-3 and BSL-4 (maximum biosafety) facilities.

Targeted at researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals from academic and research institutions who currently work or plan to start working in BSL-3 laboratories, the training aims to promote safe laboratory practices in these environments. It also contributes to the development of potential future users of Orion — a laboratory complex for advanced research into pathogens, which will include the only maximum biological containment (BSL-4) facilities in Latin America and the world’s first connected to a synchrotron light source, Sirius.

Registration period: December 2 to December 18, 2025.
