The Scientific Training and Conferences Unit
offers two types of group training:
Specialized Courses
These are designed
to support the development of scientific and technical capacity
in those disciplines in which CIAT has vast experience and
a clear comparative advantage in the region.
These courses help
develop skills that their participants can use in individual
or collaborative projects, deploying technologies, tools,
and methodologies that can be immediately applied within national
agricultural research systems (NARS).
The specialized
courses are programmed annually, according to the needs of
interested institutions and countries. Course duration
varies between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on the subject.
Multidisciplinary Courses
These courses help
expand knowledge of administration in general, and the administration
and management of large research areas and projects. This
training type is based on the synergy resulting from alliances
among different research projects at CIAT.
Multidisciplinary
courses are offered within six scenarios:
- Agrobiodiversity
- Institutional links
- Crop improvement
- Pests and diseases
- Soils and systems
- Land management
These
courses are programmed annually and may last from 2 to 4 weeks.
