He addressed that to build the BRICS Innovation Center, we must adhere to true multilateralism, uphold the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, strengthen unity, collaboration and strategic docking, and create a win-win and shared cooperation platform. We must persist in open innovation, tap the potential of the BRICS countries in the new generation of information technology, deepen industrial cooperation, integrate innovative resources, and create a pioneering zone for innovation cooperation. It is necessary to adhere to the “three-wheel drive”, focus on the three major areas of policy coordination, talent training, and project development, and create a key link for pragmatic cooperation. It is also important to adhere to sustainable development and realize the “carbon peak and carbon neutral” roadmaps respectively through cooperation and create a new benchmark for green development.

On behalf of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Zhao Long, member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee, expressed warm congratulations on the convening of the seminar and extended a warm welcome to the guests attending the meeting in Xiamen. He mentioned that Xiamen hopes to work with the BRICS think tanks to uphold the BRICS partnership spirit of “openness, tolerance, cooperation, and win-win”, be a good “staff” to study and put forward constructive and operable policy recommendations; be a good “promoter” to tell the story of BRICS cooperation, and spread the voice of BRICS development; be a good “liaison” to sow the seeds of friendship, build bridges of cooperation, and promote the continuous deepening of exchanges and expansion of cooperation among BRICS countries.

Huang Haikun, the vice governor of Fujian Province, expressed that to build the BRICS innovation center in Xiamen is a major historical mission given to Fujian and Xiamen by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. He hopes that everyone can give full play to the role of think tanks in gathering talents, gather the wisdom of BRICS, and work together to build the Xiamen BRICS Innovation Center into a landmark and exemplary cooperation platform for the BRICS countries under the framework of the new industrial revolution partnership.

Anil Kishola, Deputy President of the New Development Bank, announced in his speech that the New Development Bank will actively support the construction of the BRICS innovation center, share best practices and experience, and help the BRICS cooperation and innovation base construction.

February 14, 2026

By

United States, 14th Feb 2026 — The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI) is proud to announce a first-of-its-kind educational opportunity for the general public and mold professionals alike: Understanding Mold Illness: The Basics, an online course offered through The George Washington University Office of Professional Education.

This unique opportunity makes university-level education on mold illness available not only to NORMI members, but also to non-member professionals and the general public, marking a significant step forward in accessible, science-based environmental health education.

“This is the first time an internationally-renowned university has recognized the need for a mold course at this level of detail,” said Doug Hoffman, President of NORMI.  “We are excited to incorporate this offering to our clients and professionals. Dr. Heyman has done an outstanding job of making this information easy to understand and, because it is so basic, it will lay a strong foundation of understanding for both the public and the profession.”

A Foundational Course Addressing a Growing Need

Understanding Mold Illness: The Basics is a self-paced, online course designed to introduce participants to the science, health implications, and real-world challenges associated with mold exposure. The course covers:

  • Core science behind mold-related illness and inflammatory responses
  • Common symptom patterns and clinical considerations
  • Mycotoxins and environmental exposure pathways
  • Practical communication strategies for professionals and the public
  • A credible academic framework bridging health science and environmental practice

The course was developed by Dr. Andrew Heyman, Fellowship Director Integrative Medicine Program at GWU, a recognized leader in environmental and mold-related health education.

“We are so excited to be able to partner with NORMI to offer this to a profession that needs this information,” said Dr. Andrew Heyman.  “Their clients are struggling in their pursuit of legitimate, science-based information about mold illness, and this is a great start in the right direction.”

Certification Through George Washington University

Upon successful completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion from George Washington University, adding academic credibility for professionals in mold inspection, remediation, indoor air quality, healthcare-adjacent fields, and environmental health — as well as informed consumers seeking trustworthy education.

Exclusive NORMI Public Promotion

To encourage widespread participation, NORMI is offering an exclusive promotional opportunity for public enrollment:

This offer is available to both professionals and the general public, reinforcing NORMI’s commitment to education, transparency, and raising standards across the mold and indoor environmental health industries.

Why This Matters

Mold exposure continues to affect homes, schools, workplaces, and public buildings nationwide. While mold is common, the health impacts are often misunderstood, leading to confusion, misinformation, and frustration for affected individuals.

By supporting professional education with a leading academic institution, NORMI is helping bridge the gap between science, professional practice, and public understanding — empowering individuals with credible, foundational knowledge that supports better decisions and healthier environments.

About NORMI

The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI) is a global leader in standards, training, and certification for mold inspectors, remediators, and indoor environmental professionals.
