Summer Course Brochure | Registration Form
The course will provide students with fundamental and cutting-edge knowledge and technology, as well as an integrated academic perspective, related to agricultural practices for improving food and water use worldwide, particularly in view of global desertification. The course offers students exceptional opportunities to pursue a combination of basic and applied research in agricultural and environmental topics.
The course will be composed of three tracks: soil and irrigation, plants under abiotic stress, and aquaculture. Practical aspects as well as integration between the three topics will be emphasized. Hands-on experience will be achieved by experimental sessions (including field- and/or lab-based projects) and concluding seminar presentations by the students.
The program will include cultural events during which students will have the opportunity to socialize with local Israeli students. One-day tours will expose the students to Israeli culture and sights of the Israeli Jewish history.
