The European Plant Breeding Academy is organized by the University of California, Davis, in cooperation with several European institutions and organizations. It is a postgraduate program that teaches the fundamentals of plant breeding, genetics and statistics through lectures, discussion and field trips to public and private breeding programs. Employers appreciate the opportunity to provide their valued employees advanced training without disrupting their full-time employment. Participants attend a half-dozen six-day sessions in six countries. The instructors are internationally recognized experts in plant breeding and seed technology.
Applications are now being accepted for the third class of the European Plant Breeding Academy beginning in October of 2015.
