The joint PhD in Agri-Food Science, Technology and Biotechnology is part of the joint educational offer of the UNIgreen University Alliance. The program focuses on the production, transformation, quality, and safety of raw materials and food. It is offered by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in association with the University of Almeria (Spain), the Agricultural University of Iceland (Iceland), and the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (Portugal) within the UNIgreen Alliance.
The administrative headquarter of the program is the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Each PhD candidate will be assigned to a specific location based on the applications and on the ranking lists. The assigned location will become the primary site for the candidate's study and research activities.
Each PhD candidate must spend a mobility period at a partner institution different from their assigned location for a minimum of 3 months and up to a maximum of 18 months, which may be non-consecutive. Upon completion of the program, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia will award a joint PhD degree with the aforementioned universities in "Agri-food science, technology and biotechnology”.
Official course language is English.
This new program aims to provide doctoral candidates with advanced training in the fields of agri-food science, technology, and biotechnology, with particular emphasis on sustainability, thereby supporting the green transition. Students will be prepared to conduct research independently, communicate results through scientific publications, plan and present research projects, and transfer research outcomes to companies in the sector. This doctoral program seeks to train highly qualified experts capable of addressing complex challenges in the agri-food sector and independently managing research and projects in both academic and industrial settings.
