The Erasmus Mundus Masters in Plant Breeding – emPLANT – is a two years Master degree funded by a consortium of six leading European universities in the field of plant breeding, plant biology, seed technology and biotechnology to face the challenges of global changes such as population growth and climate change.
The program offers special cover to its emPLANT students at no extra-cost. Their families can also benefit from special premiums with the same insurers. When insured with PROTRIP-WORLD-PLUS, you are covered comprehensively during your Erasmus program.
The primary goal of emPLANT is to alleviate the scarcity of proficient and highly skilled plant breeders at the Master’s and PhD levels. This is achieved through a training program that encompasses science, management, law, intercultural competence, and language skills. The aim is to cultivate individuals with a diverse skill set, empowering them to address the challenges in plant breeding effectively.
