The Institute provides theoretical and methodological training to post-graduate students with a focus on agrarian transformation and trends in labour relations under contemporary capitalism. The Institute serves as a capacity-building forum and offers a unique opportunity for international academic exchange of a high scholarly standard for both faculty and students.
