ABOUT

Who is CERSA?


Through NC State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences certificates program, CERSA is providing training in regulatory science to undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students. These students will also have access to hand-on experience in regulatory science through internships with regulatory agencies and private companies.

CERSA has been developing workshops on various emerging issues in regulatory science in agriculture. CERSA launched a podcast, called AgTech 360, to explore topics related to emerging agricultural technologies to facilitate constructive dialogue among stakeholders.

As of 2021, CERSA is a newly University recognized Center.
