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.
