Perspectives for the future in Italy: animal science higher education, employment, and research / Baldi, A., Paolo Macciotta, N.P., Pulina, G., Ronchi, B.. - In: ANIMAL FRONTIERS. - ISSN 2160-6064. - 10:3(2020), pp. 24-29-29. [10.1093/af/vfaa022]
abstract:
In Italy, the courses in animal science include large educational
spaces dedicated to practical aspects and internships—
both in university experimental farms and
in private companies.
• The investment in research and innovation in Italy is
lower than in Europe, with an increase driven by a larger
number of progressive private/business investments.
• The Italian job market for animal science graduates has
excellent opportunities for rewarding careers.
• Italian animal scientists are active in the area of agricultural
and veterinary science; however, in the near
future, the potential for jobs and research in animal science
must consider the outcomes of the SARS-CoV-2
pandemic crisis
