RNS: Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) is now inviting outstanding students interested in agricultural and environmental processes in arid regions to register for a unique course on Sustainable Agricultural Solutions International Summer Course at its Sde Boker Campus.
The program is aimed to provide students access to cutting-edge knowledge and technologies related to agricultural practices. The course is built with the integrated academic perspective of improving food and water use worldwide, in face of global climate changes.
The summer program offers the opportunity to explore a combination of both basic and applied research in agricultural and environmental topics during frontal lessons, practical aspects of the topics and integration between them.
The course is composed of three tracks: soil and irrigation; plants under abiotic stress; and aquaculture. The combination of field and laboratory work will provide hands-on experiences that will be presented by the students in a concluding seminar.
The program includes cultural events during which students will have the opportunity to socialize with local students and weekly tours to discover Israeli culture and history. The program will be taught entirely in English.
