Máster Conjunto en Agricultura Orgánica

ongoing

The main objective of the project is to design a Joint Master's degree in Organic/Biological/Ecological Agriculture to be taught by a consortium of universities that are members of the Ibero-American Research Network in Organic Agriculture (REDIAO). The teachers who will teach the master's degree belong to universities in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala and Mexico. Students will constantly interact with researchers and professors belonging to the research network, allowing them to participate in research projects aimed at addressing specific challenges related to organic agriculture in the region. This approach will result in a concrete and beneficial impact for society. The design project of the Joint Master in Organic Agriculture is very relevant to the scope of the call, since organic agriculture is an important topic on the agenda of the European Union in relation to sustainability, food security and environmental protection. atmosphere. The mechanisms that allow offering a joint degree, with a single degree awarded by the ten universities from nine Ibero-American countries, will be negotiated with the participating institutions. In addition, the possibilities of offering Multiple Degrees will be explored by the universities participating in the master's degree. The aim is to achieve an attractive master's program to attract students from Latin America and other countries in the world. The professors from the participating universities who will teach the master's degree will meet virtually and in person to achieve the objectives. It is intended that students enrolled in the master's degree carry out mandatory physical mobility for which financing will be sought to cover mobility and registration. This project to design a Joint Master's Degree in Organic Agriculture will train professionals in improving applied research, with the aim of generating a significant impact on society.
