Joint FVI-CIRAD PlatformCapacity Building for Livestock Mangement and Animal Health in the Global South

The joint CIRAD/FVI platform, “Training, teaching and pedagogical innovation to share knowledge on Global Health and livestock management with the South”, is developing an international training offer, particularly in Southern countries, drawing on the expertise of ENSV-FVI members and CIRAD research units.
This work is being carried out by France Vétérinaire International (ENSV-FVI) in collaboration with 4 CIRAD research units working on animal production and health:
(Astre)   Animals, Health, Territories, Risks and Ecosystems
(Selmet)   Mediterranean and Tropical Livestock Systems
(Isem)   Montpellier Institute of Evolutionary Sciences
(INTERTRYP) Host-Vector-Parasite-Environment Interactions in Neglected Tropical Diseases due to Trypanosomatids.

Training courses adapted to needs our degree and skills-training offer includes:

First and second year Masters programs, 1 to 4 week module-based training courses, distance learning courses, customized training courses.
Courses are mainly organized at CIRAD on the Baillarguet International Campus in Montpellier (France), but can be relocated abroad.
They are delivered primarily in French but sessions in English can be organized on request.
A large range of individuals are involved in the courses, with extensive contributions from senior scientists at CIRAD and its partners (members of ENSV/FVI, INRA, ENVA, ENVT, IRD, FAO, OMSA, GDS, ANSES...).
