We are pleased to invite you to the first event in the GERBRAS Sustainability Talks series—a series of free online events focused on sustainability and collaborations between Brazil and Germany.
The first edition will address Sustainability in the Amazon and will take place on 11 June 2025, from 09:00 to 11:00 (Brazil time).
This session is organised by the German-Brazilian Science and Technology Network (GERBRAS-SCIENCENET) and the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg), in partnership with the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP).
