Organizing institutions

The Master is organized by the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (CIHEAM Zaragoza) of the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM),  the School of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering (ETSEA) of the University of Lleida (UdL), The Centre of Plant Biotechnology and Genomics (UPM-CBGP) and the Agrotecnio Center (CERCA center). 

Since its accreditation in 1969, CIHEAM Zaragoza is one of the four Mediterranean Agronomic Institutes of CIHEAM, an international organization created in 1962 through an intergovernmental agreement of thirteen member countries of the Mediterranean area: Albania, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey, and whose mission is to provide postgraduate training in the fields of agriculture, economy and the environment. CIHEAM develops two types of training activities: the Master programmes and the short-duration advanced specialized courses. Frequently, the programmes are jointly organized with Higher Education Institutions from the member states. At CIHEAM Zaragoza, training is provided by guest experts, highly qualified, selected for their experience and prestige in each subject. These experts come from universities, research centres, international organizations, administrations and firms from all over the world. The CIHEAM Master of Science Degree, issued by CIHEAM Zaragoza, is recognized by the Spanish State as equivalent to the official Master Degree of the Spanish university system (Spanish Official Gazette BOE dated 21 November 2006, BOE dated 20 February 2007, BOE dated 1 November 2021 and BOE dated 11 April 2022). CIHEAM Zaragoza is registered in the Spanish Registry of Universities, Centres and Degree (RUCT) of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports.
