We are committed to the education of tomorrow's plant breeders and researchers. We provide teaching, mentoring and project supervision in partnership with local research and teaching agencies.
A number of AGT staff members are affiliated with universities and are active in lecturing and/or student supervision. If you are interested in studying with AGT, please contact one of the following plant breeders:
