Since 1978, ICARDA has provided training opportunities to thirteen thousand individuals from over 100 countries. The Center offers a wide variety of training activities to suit group and individual needs such as degree and non-degree training and long- and short-term courses. Participants in ICARDA's training program are offered the opportunity to work with a team of international scientists in the classroom, laboratory and field. ICARDA encourages national agricultural research organizations and universities to secure funding from international, regional and bilateral donor agencies to support the direct costs of training participants at ICARDA. A limited number of scholarships are available from ICARDA. A grant from the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development supports Arab-country participants in these training activities.
