The Joint Doctorate Course in Agri-food Science, Technology and Biotechnology intends to provide PhD students with advanced training in the fields of agri-food science, technology and biotechnology with a focus on sustainable aspects in support of the green transition, with the ultimate goal of training PhDs with a solid basic and applied background in agri-food science.
The course will provide the scientific skills necessary to independently carry out research activities with a methodological preparation at international level and will offer the opportunity to acquire multi and interdisciplinary skills in the international context of the Unigreen Alliance.
The course offered by the PhD programme is therefore aimed at training experts with in-depth knowledge and skills in the fields of agriculture and food, who will be able to
- independently develop research in their own areas of specialisation
- communicate the results of their research activities through scientific publications in international journals and oral presentations;
- plan and present research projects on a national and international level;
- transfer the results of their research to public and private companies in the agri-food sector.
The preparation of PhD students will therefore be aimed at creating highly qualified professionals who will be able to carry out research, training and technology transfer activities at universities, public bodies or agrifood companies in the private sector, up to holding managerial positions in public and private organisations.
