The e-biosafety training network of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to address the demand of biosafety regulatory systems in developing countries for intensive training in biosafety. It combines distance-learning with on-campus training, including laboratory practice, and the programme is currently given in cooperation with the Marche Polytechnic University (Ancona, Italy), the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) and Ghent University (Ghent, Belgium). Registration for the academic year 2010-2011 is now open for the training course in Italy (registration deadline 1 October, course begins 5 November), Brazil (course begins in early October) and Belgium (registration deadline 15 September, course begins 1 November).
