About the Programs
The master programmes, lasting one or two academic years, focus on
specific problems of developing countries. These are designed to
enable graduates to share and apply acquired knowledge in the home
institution and country.
In the shorter training programmes, lasting one to four months, the
focus is on transferring skills rather than knowledge, thus creating
opportunities for cooperation and networking.
