The main goal of the AGROPATH project is to enhance geomatics and digital educational approaches for precision agriculture in Ukraine and Moldova by modernising curricula, strengthening institutional capacity, and developing human resources through targeted training for academic staff, students, war-affected groups, and rural communities.
Project Objectives:
- To modernise curricula in precision agriculture by integrating geomatics and digital technologies in two Ukrainian and one Moldovan partner university.
- To develop new and update existing geomatics-based modules for precision agriculture.
- To strengthen institutional capacity through the establishment of new and the upgrade of existing laboratories in precision agriculture and geomatics.
- To develop an open learning environment with multilingual digital learning materials in geomatics and precision agriculture, ensuring long-term accessibility, building on EU university experience and promoting inclusive education for rural and vulnerable communities.
- To enhance the employability and digital skills of local target groups in Ukraine and Moldova through six short-term reskilling courses supporting socio-economic reintegration.
- To upgrade the competencies of at least 45 academic staff through four intensive trainings at EU universities by the mid-term of the project, equipping them with advanced precision agriculture technologies.
- To promote student engagement in precision agriculture through two seasonal schools and four online guest lecture sessions involving EU universities, providing exposure to innovative technologies and intercultural learning experiences.
- To ensure wide dissemination and long-term impact by engaging stakeholders (academic, industry, and rural communities) through digital platforms (project website, social media, open learning portal), supporting knowledge exchange and sustainability of project results.
Expected Results:the project will deliver new teaching methodologies, digital tools and scalable educational models, contributing to strengthening the resilience of the agricultural sector and supporting long-term economic recovery and workforce development in Ukraine and Moldova.
