Goals
Through the experiences and contributions of professors, Italian and Argentine entrepreneurs, the Master’s program provides students with a solid basic preparation and technical-economic specialization on the livestock supply chain: breeding, processing, marketing of animal products, international marketing. The project represents an opportunity for professional insertion for Italians living in Argentina, in a fundamental sector such as livestock production. The QUIZ initiative not only specializes Italian students, but also aims to ensure adequate follow-up for professional insertion within the local business fabric. This promotes the relevance of the Italian community and disseminates Italian technical-operational and entrepreneurial models in Argentina.
The project promoted the integrated development of the Argentine livestock supply chain in synergistic line with the Italian one through the enhancement of its strategic potential. The activity was implemented through the organization of a Master’s degree in favor of Italians residing in Argentina, with the involvement of the Faculty of Agriculture of Portici – University of Naples “Federico II”.
The project initiative recognized Italians living abroad, in particular, those residing in the consular districts of Buenos Aires and Rosario, an active subjectivity in the process of international development of the Argentine livestock sector.
