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.
