The NBSOIL Academy is a blended training programme prototype targeting both existing and aspiring soil advisors. Participants will engage with soil health and nature-based solutions experts, demonstration sites, advisory services, and other Soil Mission projects across the EU and associated countries to strengthen the knowledge and skills base to provide nature-based advice on soils across all land use sectors. The Academy will be launched on 5 June 2024. Register now!
The NBSOIL Academy will provide you with a variety of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to provide advice for sustainable soil management. The course content will be structured into four modules, alongside a final project. The modules will be released gradually from June 2024 to May 2025.
The final project will address a real soil advisory situation, designed in teams and mentored by the NBSOIL experts. This will span the last nine months of the Academy, from October 2025 until June 2026.

The NBSOIL Academy is addressed to people living in Europe currently working as soil or agricultural advisors as well as aspiring ones. The Academy aims to train the new wave of soil advisors on sustainable land management to improve European soil health. Participants from beyond the EU and Europe are also welcome. However, note that we might have some capacity limits for non-Europe-based participants.
