It is the world's largest financial support ever for cellular agriculture by a national government. Wageningen University & Research is one of the consortium partners and will work on education and research. Education. In the Cellular Agriculture programme, WUR will develop three courses about precision fermentation, cultured meat, and the societal and sustainability aspects of cellular agriculture. The intention is that the Masters- students taking these courses will specialise in this field. With sufficient student interest, a new Master's programme may follow, which will be offered as a follow-up to several Bachelor's programmes.
