INSEFOODS-Sponsored Students to Attend Summer School organized by CESAAM

African Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Agriculture and Agribusiness Management – CESAAM has planned a Summer School from 25th – 29th November, 2019 at Egerton University, Kenya.

This convention will bring together graduate students from the centre and its partners to share their experiences in research. The summer school will also offer short courses on Implication and Preparation of Policy Briefs and Research Analytics and Data Management. During the convention graduate students will share their research work irrespective of their level in order to obtain input from academic, industrial and other mentors.

JOOUST is partnering with Egerton University in this regard and is  facilitating 23 post graduate students listed below for the event.  20 of whom will proceed for an exchange programme at Egerton University after the Summer School.
