BioInnovation Wales launches new Podcast
BioInnovation Wales offers distance learning courses to those looking to up-skill or simply learn more about a new subject. Training is delivered on-line with optional workshops, where appropriate, and courses can be taken as CPD or built towards a range of postgraduate qualifications.
Modules are all focused around the circular economy, with a number of these centered around food and drink production and processing. The project is a partnership between Aberystwyth and Swansea Universities and has been supported by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government.
To help raise awareness of the training courses available, BioInnovation Wales has launched a new Podcast series and the first two episodes are available below.
