What is the Exchange Program ?
 
 
Expro stands for the IAAS exchange program. Throughout 40 years, IAAS exchange program is offering the unique opportunity for students to experience and learn about agricultural related subjects on an international level, while broadening their own views and helping to create open and internationally-minded people. Students have the possibility to experience how the agricultural institutes work in another country, exchange the ideas, experiences and information.

What is the cost ?
 
 
The payment consists of an ExPro-fee which you pay to IAAS International, a deposit and in some hosting countries an administration fee. The latter depends on the hosting country and can be found in the country information. If eventualy you would not be offered a place you will be completely refunded. If you receive a place, your deposit will be refunded after you attened your training and filled in the evaluation form. If you do not attend the training offered to you, you lose both the fee and the deposit you've been paying ! The price you pay depends on your country.

Please contact the exchange coordinator in your country to know the exact price. The Expro-fee is maximum 75 euro, the deposit is maximum 25 euro. The costs depend on the country you are FROM, they do not depend on the country you go to.
 
 
Why would you participate ?
 
 
The Expro will be an experience you'll never forget! You will not only get to know new aspects about agriculture but you will be introduced in an entire new way of living, working, etc.
 
 
How do I get the place ?
 
 
First of all you should decide whether you want to do a farm work (ceres), a research (archimedes) or a volunteering work to know which program you want to apply for. The procedures are are slightly different for each of these programs. Only ceres is organised in this on-line system.
