The Master's degree course in Agrifood Innovation Management is the result of the collaboration between the University of Trento and the Edmund Mach Foundation and is hosted in the San Michele all'Adige campus: a center equipped with infrastructures and technologies that allow the transfer of theoretical and applied knowledge.
In addition to classrooms, there are: a study room with computer stations, two teaching laboratories fully equipped for biology and chemistry activities, experimental greenhouses, several laboratories equipped for the analysis of agri-food products and food processing, an educational cellar and a farm with specific areas used for field teaching activities.
