Innovation is considered to be crucial for addressing societal and economic challenges and
opportunities in the agro-food domain. This calls for high-level educated employees, for
which tertiary education is crucial. Since system innovations will gain impact, tertiary education
increasingly needs to embrace the development of interdisciplinary skills. Wageningen UR
meets these needs by the T-shaped skills approach, indicating that each specialist is able to
connect with specialists form other disciplines. Wageningen UR is committed to assist third
parties in developing and implementing similar models.
