UC Davis European Plant Breeding Academy Starts October 2022

  • On July 7, 2022

The Seed Biotechnology Center at UC Davis is offering a professional development course to teach the principles of plant breeding to seed industry personnel. This program, in partnership with European institutions and breeders, focuses entirely on plant breeding and is taught by experienced plant breeders. The Plant Breeding Academy develops the skills and abilities of current industry personnel to enable them to become independent breeders or more valuable contributors to larger breeding programs. This two-year course addresses the reduced number of plant breeders being trained in academic programs. For more information, including class locations, visit the program webpage.
