Offer Description

The PhD Programme in Agrobiodiversity is a four-year residential Course. It aims at the enhancement of human resource capacities in the utilisation and management of genetic variation in agricultural and natural systems, in order to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems and the conservation of genetic resources for the well-being of present and future generations.

The Programme is structured into two curricula:

1. Plant genetic resources
2. Functional biodiversity in agroecosystems

During the Course, PhD students are required to attend 150 hours of in-class training on methodological, curricular, and interdisciplinary courses.
