An international academically accredited course based on a combination of distance-learning and on-campus training sessions.

It is distinctively interdisciplinary with students and faculty from natural & social sciences. The training program is specifically addressed to the sector of Genetically Modified Plant (GMP) benefit and risk assessment for scientists, trainers, operators and evaluators working mainly in the areas of agronomy, genetics and biotechnology. The aim is to provide theoretical and practical experience and rules on GMP risk assessment in different cultivation conditions (mainly Balkan, Mediterranean and African areas) and for the food and feed.

The program is supported though a technical cooperation project under the aegis of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). As the other biosafety courses given by the UNIDO network centers provides training at the highest possible level to:

developing country researchers, government and industry professionals involved in the assessment and management of risks related to biotechnology-derived products and services;
individuals engaged in public policy, legal and ethical aspects or regulation of biotechnology;
the next generation of biosafety trainers.

Duration

Each year the master will start within the month of November and it will have a duration of 46 weeks (322 days). For the academic year 2011/2012 the call for applications is open from June 27 to October 1, 2011 while the course will start the 05 of November 2011.
