BRICS Spring School
Modern agricultural science is developing rapidly nowdays. If you are ready to learn more about latest technologies and trends in agroresearch, john the international school “Advanced Skills in Agro Research” (BRICS Spring School).
This online course will offer opportunities to explore the full range of activities in new technologies, trends and innovations in Plant Science, Digital Agriculture, Statistical analysis, Plant Genetics.
We aim to give you the skills and knowledge to provide healthy food and save soil fertility.
The school is organized by the RUDN University in collaboration with Russian Agricultural Bank and with the support of BRICS Network University.
ASAR BRICS School will include:
- Lectures and seminars by lead scientists and practitioners arranged in topical blocks
- Joint preparation of the interdisciplinary project for defence
- Formal defence of the project
- Closing ceremony: the participants will be sent an official certificates
The top 20 participants will receive a merch from the organizers (we will send it by mail anywhere in the world).
