How it works
Choose a summer school that fits your interests, whether it’s agriculture, food systems, technology or sustainability. Wageningen runs short intensive programmes ranging from one to two weeks on-campus or blended.
Expect a mix of lectures, hands-on workshops, field visits and group assignments. For example, programmes include excursions to leading greenhouse horticulture sites or smart farms.
You’ll work with experts and a diverse cohort of professionals, researchers and students. At the end of the summer course you’ll receive a certificate and fresh insights to apply in your own context.

- A deep-dive into a relevant topic, from precision agriculture and biotechnology to greenhouse systems and transformative sustainability.
- Enhanced professional skills: teamwork, critical thinking, presentation and problem solving in a global context.
- An international network of peers and experts, opening doors across sectors and borders.
- A certificate from WUR that confirms your commitment to continuous learning and interdisciplinary excellence.
