  abstract = {{T}he {S}ud{B}iotech project is targeting {P}h{D} and {M}asters {P}i ()grammes in {U}niversities and {E}xcellence {R}esearch {C}entres located in developing countries {I}t pi poses an integrative and multidisciplinary approach under the form of a one-week discovery and training itinerary {S}ud{B}iotech is aimed at addressing various different fields of {P}lant {B}iotechnology, under the specific socioeconomic context of scientific communities from these countries {O}ur main goal is to train students, research staff, deciders, professionals and journalists to the basic knowledge underlying applications of plant biotechnologies, in order to both update the amount of knowledge which is requested at {M}aster's level and to acquire a solid body of in formation which is indispensable for any decision making, in a field of research which is often the target of political, social and media-related pressure {T}he team of {P}rofessors involved in the project shares a strong experience in teaching and training in overseas {F}rench {S}peaking {U}niversities ({AUPELF}-{UREF} projects in {M}arocco, {T}unisia, {T}ogo, {C}ote d'{I}voire, {TEMPUS} {P}rogramme in {L}ebanon, {AUF}-{A}ctions de {R}echerche en {R}estart in {B}enin) {T}he team is composed of senior scientists acting in various complementary fields, namely {B}iochemistry/{P}hysiology ({A} {N}ato), {P}lant {B}reeding/{M}olecular {B}iology ({Y} {H}enry), {T}ropical {A}griculture/{E}pigenetics ({A} {R}ival) {T}hanks to these complementarities, {S}ud{B}iotech is able to propose a training itinerary which is diversified and integrated, covering areas from the plant cell and its original potentialities to the most recent industrial applications of plant biotechnologies ({GMO}s), their public acceptance in developing and emerging nations and their applicability to tropical plant commodities {T}he training offer is amplified and enriched through the active role of local research and training staff; who are encouraged to actively participate in the {S}ud{B}iotech project under various forms including lectures, field visits, practical sessions, etc {S}ud{B}iotech relies on original research results, which support and illustrate the various different basic notions evoked during lectures {T}he case of the bio-production of high added value pharmaceutical products by genetically engineered cells or plants under confined condition is a good example of this integration {O}ur pi {R}imy is to establish a long-term, continuous system for training and capacity building, based on appropriate tools for scientific communities in developing and emerging countries training of {P}h{D} students, job opportunities in their native country/region, overseas training, access to scientific information and literature and access to funders and international networks {I}t is important to note that any training material which is produced under the framework of {S}ud{B}iotech is graciously given without any intellectual {P}roperty {R}ights to partner institutions, in order to constitute a local basis for training in {P}lant {B}iotechnologies in beneficiary countries},
