During the EAIE conference in Rotterdam, I met with Mrs Nobell to discuss about the opportunity to provide scholarships for Canadian students to come and study in France.
Indeed, L’Institut Agro is collaborating with the Lactalis Group, which is the world’s number one Dairy Group, dealing with famous brands in Canada, such as Cracker Barrel, Black Diamond, P’tit Québec, Balderson, Ficello, aMOOza!, Astro, Khaas, siggi’s, IÖGO, IÖGO nanö, Olympic, Lactantia, Beatrice, Galbani, Président, etc.
Lactalis Group is having difficulties training and recruting Managers in Canada. Therefore, together with them, we have set up a collaboration to offer Canadian students to follow a relevant programme in Science and Dairy Processing. This programme is targeting Bachelor students in order for them to get a Master’s Degree. Indeed, for a period of 12 months, Canadian students would study for one semester and complete an internship in one of the Lactalis Production Center for another semester. Therefore, they would acquire the philosophy and culture of the Lactalis Group and would be able to go back to Canada to work for Lactalis Group. The fees would be free of charge and students would get a monthly scholarship to cope with the living and travel costs.
Please also note that UBC and L’Institut Agro are already collaborating through many research projects. Furthermore, we have recently shared a european programme (ICM) with funds to finance mobilities of PhD’s and faculty members, particularly in the fields of Fisheries and Aquaculture and also in Agroecology. Some other assets of our institution.
If you think there would be an interest for your students, I would be delighted to set up a short online meeting to introduce you to my institution, L’Institut Agro, which is the first french public university in Agronomy, Food Science and Environment (5000 students, 350 faculty members, 450 PhDs on 4 campuses) and I would provide more information regarding the Lactalis Programme.
