CIHEAM Zaragoza

CIHEAM Zaragoza is one of the four Institutes of the International Centre for Advanced Agronomic Mediterranean Studies (CIHEAM), together with Bari in Italy, Montpellier in France and Chania in Greece. CIHEAM is an intergovernmental organization created more than 50 years ago under the aegis of the Council of Europe and the OECD with the mission to develop cooperation between the countries of the Mediterranean through postgraduate training and promotion of cooperative research in the agro-food, fisheries and natural resources sector. CIHEAM Zaragoza was founded in 1969, offering complementary quality and excellence in international training and cooperation through research project management based on the Institute's five fields of study: Animal Production and Welfare, Plant Breeding, Health and Production, Fisheries and Aquaculture, AgriFood Sysems and Marketing and Environment and Natural Resources. CIHEAM Zaragoza has become consolidated as a point of reference for specialized international training in the agro-food sector. It is located on the Campus of Aula Dei, one of the largest and most prestigious agricultural science complexes in Spain, strengthening synergies between the scientific community, firms and students. CIHEAM Zaragoza offers two lines of training: Master programmes and advanced courses. CIHEAM Zaragoza's training activities have great international repercussion, and each year more than 450 university graduates attend our programmes delivered by over 250 guest lecturers from approximately 80 countries. This is an enriching multicultural experience and a unique opportunity to build international professional and collaborational networks.
