Student reviews
The teachers inspired me with their introduction to cutting-edge biology, agriculture, food processing technology and latest research insights of Wageningen University & Research.
I gained new insights by learning about current and future trends in the field of agriculture and food for a deeper understanding of the environment, breeding, agricultural production, food processing, nutrition, and human health in areas such as technology innovation. I got to know Wageningen University & Research better and experienced solving problems as a multidisciplinary team with different points of view.
It broadened my horizon and expanded my knowledge with information I’ve never been exposed to before. I developed a new understanding of modern horticulture.
Next Winter & Summer Edition
In the summer of the 2022 an online edition will be hosted and the program is expected for the winter of 2023 as well. For more information about the editions click below.
