In November, AGRODEP conducted a survey asking members to help select the AGRODEP training courses for 2013. A list of 16 proposed courses was provided and members were asked to choose their top three based on which courses would be most useful for their research and professional development.
The AGRODEP team is pleased to announce the results of this survey and the training courses for 2013. A total of 76 members participated in the survey and selected eight courses:
