Ideally, our activities are subject to 3 governance systems (the list of institutions is not exhaustive). Not all of these systems are in place today, but we affirm our commitment to working towards the implementation of all of them
- Self-governance: advisory board and international scientific committee
- Light governance: IBAMA (golden mussel and sun coral control group), CEMA/UFRJ (animal research ethics committee) and CIBio (internal biosafety committee).
- Federal governance: CTNBio (national biosafety commission – validates the safety of the genetically modified organism), MAPA (ministry of agriculture and livestock) and MMA (ministry of the environment – through IBAMA, the Brazilian environmental institute, monitors research, verifies the efficacy and releases the marketing of new pesticides) Biosafety law, agrotoxics law, biodiversity law, S&T framework
