- LSU AgCenter Global Network
The LSU AgCenter Global Network’s mission is to develop and enhance international partnerships, collaboration, and opportunity for LSU tigers at home and abroad. Global Network enhances international opportunities for faculty, students, and staff, leveraging partnerships for improved value returns to LSU and the state of Louisiana. Working closely with the LSU AgCenter’s research leaders, the Global Network cultivates opportunities for international research and technology development and recruits international students and scholars, diversifying student experience and research perspectives.
In 2014, the LSU AgCenter and Mendel University (MENDELU) in Brno, Czech Republic, established a strategic partnership with a goal to develop sustainable cooperation in research, extension and outreach, and education. The two universities have a strong presence in agriculture, offering quality programs that engage stakeholders and students and promote entrepreneurship. Their approach to food science in particular offers multiple possible cooperative actions and elevates the quality of both programs in research and technology — through sharing of cheese formulas, for example — and education by the offering of joint courses.
