The doctorate is the highest academic qualification, the aim of which is to train future scholars and professionals.
If in the wine sector the oenologist, with university studies, is the most complete figure for that sector, in the olive world there is still no degree that trains professionals in the sector completely and at such a high level.
It is no wonder that the first University in the world to create a unique research doctorate on olive oil is the University of Jaén. No wonder why Jaén, a charming city in Andalusia, with the highest concentration of olive groves in the world, has become the World Olive Oil Capital.
Sebastian Sanchez Villasclaras, Professor of the Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering (University of Jaén) and Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in Olive Groves and Olive Oils introduces the course and all the potentialities connected to it. Also open to foreign graduates.
The importance of training is fundamental to create professionals capable of growing a sector potentially rich in professional opportunities, as EVOO.
