AgTraIn call for applications:
We invite candidates to apply for the 2012 intake of AgTraIn Doctorate
students.
The main objective of the AgTraIn programme is to develop an elite
European Doctorate school within the topic of successful development
and transformation of farming systems in the developing world.
Thematically, the AgTraIn programme deals with agricultural production
chains, the natural resource base and the involved communities. The
scope of AgTraIn will range from the technical aspects of agricultural
production, over post-harvest management, processing and value-
addition, to market access and commercialisation. A key feature of the
programme is the involvement of key stakeholders in identifying
research questions and participating in project formulation. The
emphasis is on applied research.
