We provide knowledge and skills to scientists, policy makers, extension agents, farmers and others.

Our courses are divided into three separate key areas – Science courses, Technology Transfer courses and Leadership courses.

Every year IRRI hosts over 300 graduate and postgraduate students undertaking research in cooperation with IRRI scientists.

There are many sources of knowledge, and many ways of gaining skills. IRRI’s approach has three distinct advantages.

We focus on hands-on learning. Participants are exposed to, are part of and learn within the reality of agricultural and scientific processes.
Participants not only learn, they build a network of fellow learners who are in their own employment addressing many of the same issues. Over a career this network will be as valuable as the learning itself.
Participants will meet and get to know world-leading scientists and practitioners in their field of interest.
