1 International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies, CIHEAM CIHEAM, was founded at the initiative of the OECD and the Council of Europe on May 1962 and now has thirteen member countries. CIHEAM s mission: to «provide complementary education and develop a spirit of international cooperation». Four Mediterranean Agronomic Institutes, MAIs [Bari (Italy), Chania (Greece), Montpellier (France), Zaragoza (Spain)] plus a network of partner institutions Country Ratified Country Ratified Spain 1963 Tunisia 1985 France 1965 Egypt 1986 Greece 1965 Algeria 1986 Italy 1965 Malta 1989 Portugal 1966 Morocco 1990 Turkey 1967 Albania 1992 Yugoslavia 1967 Libano 1994

4 MSc Rural Planning (2015) IAMZ From its foundation in 1969, Advanced Postgraduate Training represents the essence of IAMZ s activities Training is based b on highly recognized guest experts. IAMZ provides with postgraduate degree leading education (MSc) and advanced specialized short courses for professionals. Cooperation for Research is based on collaboration with partner institutions. IAMZ does not have active R+D staff. We animate and coordinate R+D+i actions mainly through networks and projects. IAMZ does not have regular faculty. Every year we invites around 400 lecturers from more than 50 countries.

9 IAMZ IAMZ Advanced Specialized Courses One or two week duration; 14 courses per year (average) A significant number co organized with a number of national or international institutions The offer of courses is updated each year Some offered outside IAMZ Aimed exclusively at professionals with experience related to the subject matter of the course Courses provide a high level update of knowledge, complemented with the possibility of exchanging experiences in an international framework, both with guest experts as lecturers as well as the professionals attending the course

10 IAMZ Advanced courses for professionals (last 25 years) More than 30 courses in 13 countries: Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Serbia, Italy, the Netherlands, France and Portugal Place Proportion IAMZ 76.8% Spain 13.1% Other CIHEAM countries 8.2% Other countries 2.0% More than 40% of the courses are co organized together with international organizations, such us FAO, ICARDA, COI, IEO and many research projects funded by the EU framework programs.

11 IAMZ IAMZ Advanced Specialized Courses Courses are identified based on demand and potential interest for all CIHEAM countries An external ad hoc committee to define the course contents and activities and to identify guest lecturers One of the members of the Committee serve as Scientific Coordinator of the course The Committee meets for two days and their members have to send in advance a tentative overall program that is circulated prior to the meeting in Zaragoza Use of Sensors in Agriculture Mapping Ecosystem Services for Landscape Planning

17 IAMZ Advanced courses for professionals Conclusions, after 350 courses and 10,000 participants: They better serve nowadays CIHEAM s Mission of providing Complementary Education They are an effective instrument of international cooperation, built on synergies with partner institutions. Some international institutions are looking for synergies for advanced training The high percentage of courses co organized with international organizations shows that there is alarge and unsatisfied demand for this type of advanced train Interesting to both EU and Non EU CIHEAM professionals and from elsewhere. More attractive for professionals from the private sector Much less competition with national structures They could be designed according to Life Long Learning schemes which are gaining importance Quick (compared to MSc) preparation Large scope of possible topics. IAMZ with a very flexible system able to adapt to new training subject matters and tools Emerging and quarantine diseases of Mediterranean fruit and vegetable crops (2013) Precision livestock farming (2015)

18 However (particularly when comparing with CIHEAM Master of Science) : IAMZ Advanced courses for professionals International cooperation returns are lower. In a one or two week period, participants do not get truly identified with the institution. They do not build close cooperative links between Spanish research units and foreign trainees. They are relatively expensive. Unitary costs per time unit are much higher than in Masters. Logistically quite complex organization General economic difficulties reduce the number of candidates both CIHEAM grant recipients and those self supported. IAMZ s training system depends entirely on external lecturers and collaborating institutions. This is a strength regarding flexibility and diversity of topics to be covered, but is also a weakness as there is a high dependency on external collaborations Ecological restoration of Mediterranean rivers (2011) Fishery by products: technological innovations and uses (2015)
