VLAG Graduate School

VLAG Graduate School forms an academic community for research and post-graduate education in the areas of Biobased, Biomolecular, Chemical, Food, and Nutrition Sciences. It provides a platform and support for professional development of early-stage researchers, and for research collaboration within and across these areas. 

Upcoming courses

VLAG organises a large number of advanced discipline-specific and general courses. Topics covered by these courses are of particular interest to the research groups within VLAG. Some courses are given annually, but most courses are organised every two or three years. Our courses are open to VLAG PhD candidates but also to other WUR PhD candidates, university staff, and external participants. The course language is English.

PhD projects & theses

Scientific research within VLAG covers the whole range from fundamental sciences to application-oriented research, and as such, it impacts societal challenges through, e.g., improved sustainability, nutrition, and health. You can find all projects and theses on research.wur.nl.
