EMABG Scholars
The EMABG welcomes leading academics and practitioners in subjects related to animal breeding and genetics to join the programme as invited guest lecturers.
The scholars and guest lecturers contribute to the EMABG programme with lectures on the state of the art of topics from animal breeding and genetics, and provide their vision for the future topics. We invite world-known experts to teach whole courses or give lectures on their field of expertise. This is not only limited to animal breeding scientists, but may also include experts from neighbouring fields (e.g. plant breeding, conservation genetics) or from basic science fields (e.g. statistics, molecular genetics, and bioinformatics).
