Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI) Internship in Phytosanitation and Biosecurity

The FABI Internship Programme provides interns with a period of experiential learning during which previously acquired knowledge and theory are integrated with practical application and skills development in the plant health research environment or professional setting.
