Abstract

WIAS combines the research efforts of twelve groups at Wageningen University. WIAS scientific staff consists of about 60 faculty members, of which 16 are full-time or part-time professors. There are about 16 postdocs. More than one hundred PhD students are enrolled. About 80% of them are externally funded and 50% are international PhD students. Twenty researchers of the Contract Research Organisation of the Animal Sciences Group of Wageningen UR are associated members. The WIAS mission statement: The graduate school WIAS aims to improve our understanding of animals and their various roles for mankind through fundamental and strategic research and training of young researchers.
