The role of the organisation in the project

The Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria (INTA) is a full partner of the EDULIVE project and provides experience as link between research, higher education, producers and processors. INTA leads WP7 in implementation phase II of the cooperation between universities and the livestock sector. In WP1, INTA contributes expertise on demands and needs of research organizations and sector stakeholders that should be included in university curricula on Animal Sciences. In WP2, INTA supports the establishment of cooperation mechanisms between universities and the sector. INTA has a double role as employer of graduates and collaborator with universities on research.
