The methodology used is interactive and task-based giving students the opportunity to use their knowledge in practical situations. A two-month internship at the end of the programme allows participants to use their newly acquired skills and knowledge in renowned institutions, government and non-government bodies, etc. MESCI is targeted to students and young professionals pursuing, or intending to embark on careers in international organizations, public and private companies engaged in international activities and non-governmental organizations. programme has enjoyed international recognition and attracts students worldwide.

A Special Visit to FAO HQ
We are delighted to share the enriching experience of the MESCI students during their today's visit to the FAO Headquarters.
This visit provided a unique opportunity to explore the vital work carried out by the Food and Agriculture Organization in addressing global challenges such as food security, sustainable agriculture, and climate change. During their time at FAO, the students also had the opportunity to visit the Food and Agriculture Museum & Network (MuNe), where they explored the cultural, historical, and scientific dimensions of food systems and agriculture.
Moments like these are essential in inspiring the next generation of global citizens and future leaders. We are proud of our students for their curiosity, enthusiasm, and active participation throughout the visit.
A heartfelt thank you to FAO for the warm welcome and for sharing such an inspiring vision for a better and more sustainable world.
