Education for professionals
To tackle the major global challenges our society is facing, we educate professionals around the world by offering high quality knowledge on healthy food and the living environment. Wageningen University & Research focuses on ‘lifelong learning’ educational ecosystems, ranging from MBAs and postgraduate study programmes to online courses, summer schools and MOOCs.
We also offer tailor-made and in-company training for professionals. Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation as well as Wageningen Academy can organise these for you.
