Staff of DG Agri learns about E-learning course: Seminar on November 28
Already over 400 people from more than 50 countries have registered for EL-CAP, the E-Learning course on the Common Agricultural Policy.
The course is partially funded by the European Commission in the framework of the CAP information measures grants scheme.
It seems therefore only natural to present the course and the first results to staff of DG AGRI and other DG’s On November 28. This will take place at the office of DG AGRI in Brussels during a so called lunch seminar.
Professor Franco Sotte, scientific coordinator of the course, and emeritus professor Allan Buckwell, author of one of the course’s modules, are some of the expert speakers to demonstrate the course.
