It is with great pleasure that we announce the return of the Seminars of the Center of Sciences of the Conservation and Sustainability of Rio (CSRio) in 2019!<\/p>\n
At the CSRio Seminars, we sought to discuss themes related to biodiversity conservation and sustainability, with keynote speakers. In this semester, the meetings will take place bi-weekly on Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Auditorium Rio Data Center (RDC), PUC-Rio. The first seminar this year will be on March 21st.<\/p>\n
Conducted by Agnieszka Latawiec and Ingrid Pena, this meeting will present “Innovative pro-environmental approaches that transform landscapes on a large scale”, based on experiences and ideas that have created conditions, spaces and processes that have opened paths towards socio-environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n
The meetings are open to the public, and the discussion followed by the presentation will be conducted in an open and participatory way. A certificate will be sent to participants who request it. Questions and information: contato@csrio.usuarios.rdc.puc-rio.br<\/p>\n
