AGRITECH Partners Meet in Nicosia to Advance the Future of Agri-food Education

CARDET recently hosted the Transnational Project Meeting of the Erasmus+ AGRITECH project in Nicosia, Cyprus, welcoming project partners from across Europe for three days of collaboration, knowledge exchange, and strategic planning.

The meeting brought together consortium members to review the project’s overall progress and discuss key coordination and implementation activities. Partners exchanged updates on the development of the AGRITECH innovative learning environment, educational resources, pilot activities, and the project’s e-learning platform, while aligning on upcoming milestones and the next phases of implementation.

AGRITECH is a three year Erasmus+ initiative that aims to transform agricultural education by integrating Deep Tech technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing, into modern agricultural practices. Through an innovative educational ecosystem, the project addresses critical skills gaps in the agri-food sector by promoting interdisciplinary learning, co-innovation, and collaboration between education, research, industry, and public institutions.

A key innovation of the project is the introduction of the AgriTech Manager profile, an emerging professional role that combines technological expertise with entrepreneurial skills to support the development of sustainable and technology driven agricultural solutions. By equipping learners, educators, trainers, and agricultural professionals with advanced digital, green, critical thinking, and problem solving skills, AGRITECH contributes to the transition towards smarter and more sustainable agriculture across Europe.

The meeting in Nicosia provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen collaboration among the consortium, reinforce shared objectives, and coordinate the next steps towards the successful implementation of the project and its ambitious vision for the future of agricultural education.

CARDET extends its sincere thanks to all project partners for their active participation, valuable contributions, and continued commitment to the success of the AGRITECH project.
