Date and Time
1 January 0001 0:0 - 0:0
Several indigenous peoples in Brazil share their traditional knowledge among themselves in different ways. This free flow of information, although benefic to the conservation of this cultural heritage, brings difficulties in stablishing prior informed consent (PIC) and benefit sharing (BS) policies, as far as representation and ownership are concerned. The goal of this meeting is to discuss adequate guidelines for implementing PIC and BS policies in these situations.
