AgreenSkills and AgreenSkills+ were international mobility programmes aiming at attracting promising and talented junior and senior researchers, respectively, from all disciplines to develop basic, applied or targeted research projects within
Agreenium-IAVFF
laboratories. Projects could have both disciplinary and multi-disciplinary approaches in the fields of agriculture, food and nutrition, environment, animal health and veterinary public health. AgreenSkills and AgreenSkills+ also provided opportunities for outgoing international mobility for researchers working in a laboratory of an
