Education has always been the main mission of CIHEAM Bari since its establishment in 1962. Every year, students of different nationalities choose this Institute to attend their postgraduate studies.
Our educational offer focuses on the main themes aiming at agriculture and rural development in the Mediterranean basin.
Traditionally, we organize courses to develop students competencies for a sustainable natural resources management, in particular regarding the fragility and scarcity of land and water resources; plant protection, to prevent and/or control the spread of pests and diseases; and organic agriculture, to produce safe food and minimize environmental impacts.
Recently, we have enriched our education program with new courses aimed at preparing professionals to deal with other key challenges for the Mediterranean communities: the climate change, agroecological transition and resilience of territories; the agri-food innovation systems and enterprises development, the coastal and fishermen communities empowerment; the digitalization of agriculture.
All courses are inspired by a manifold of institutional experience, matured in decades of research and cooperation activities carried out in different contexts and countries.
