The goal is to educate people that can bridge the gap between scientific research and industrial application by training them jointly at the university and in a company. Postgraduate students admitted to this education participate in a five years program comprising a common part that tries to provide a common knowledge framework on molecular genetics of important traits, genomics, SE technology, statisitcs, quantitative genetics and breeding theory. And in addition every student has his/her own research program that is jointly formulated by the academic supervisor and the industrial host.
