For the month of October, 4 staff members from NEMEDUSSA partners are following a course on Soil Biodiversity at the Nematology Research Unit at Ghent University. This course on Soil Biodiversity is part of the 2-year international Master in Environmental and Agricultural Nematology. The trainees, from Kenyatta University (Kenya), Jimma University (Ethiopia), North West University (South Africa) and Stellenbosch University (South Africa) follow lectures, conduct fieldwork and work alongside students and international staff. This training takes places within the framework of capacity building aims of the project, and is an important activity within NEMEDUSSA.
