Our aim
Sustainable rural development and food are issues which are currently subject to drastic changes in our environment. Synergies must be created between education, research, development cooperation and the corporate sphere in order to overcome these challenges.
Numerous collaboration opportunities
The CIHEAM Montpellier calls on the expertise of numerous stakeholders (decision-makers, professionals, teaching staff, researchers, the civil society, etc.) in order to propose sustainable rural development alternatives combining science, innovation and diplomacy.
