Course Design
The course programme combines lectures, group work on case studies and plenary discussions. The lectures will be given by first-hand experts from academia, industry and government. Background material will be provided during the course for further reading and reference material.
Course participants are encouraged to prepare for the life event using distance learning material developed at Wageningen University that can be accessed via internet. Two of the distance learning modules, i.e. Food Preservation and HACCP, are of particular relevance and successful completion of these modules before the actual course will help participants in the course work. Access instructions are given upon final registration.
