Collaboration with Europedia Hellas on marketing of Higher Degree Research Programmes in Greece

The Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich offers MPhil and PhD Programmes carried out by research.
NRI welcomes applications from students work want to carry out research in the areas of expertise of the Institute. Broadly these as:

• Agricultural research - specifically related to the development of appropriate, cost effective and sustainable means of controlling pests and diseases
• Food Research including issues of food safety, quality management and commodity management
• Plant, Animal and Human health issues - specifically on the epidemiology of insect borne virus discuses, molecular diagnostics, medical entomology and integrated pest management
• Development - orientated social sciences
• Agricultural and development economics, commodity and international trade and financial services development.

The Natural Resources Institute and Europedia Hellas have agreed to collaborate together on the marketing of research degrees in Greece. Europedia will therefore act as primary point of contact for Research Degree Enquiries in Greece.

Postgraduate Research Topics at NRI

The Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich with its 100 staff currently undertakes research activities around the world. The Institute currently has over 60 PhD students and a similar number of MSc students. The range of topics that can be covered at postgraduate level is very broad and it is not possible to summarise in just a few pages all the topics that can be covered. It is therefore best to contact the Director of Research at NRI, Professor Andrew Westby (a.westby@gre.ac.uk) , to discuss whether NRI staff have the expertise to cover a specific topic. NRI will not take on students in subject areas that it does not have the expertise to supervise. This is it is possible for students to be co-supervised with other University of Greenwich staff.

The following are the main subject areas pursued by NRI's research Groups. We welcome postgraduate enquires in any of these or more widely in agriculture.

• Aerobiology
• Agricultural Chemistry
• Chemical Ecology

• Migrant pests research
• Molecular diagnostics
• Insect pathology
