The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (FTZ), Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU Prague) will mark an important milestone this December — 20 years of its contribution to the educational and agricultural sectors of Moldova, and two decades of long-lasting cooperation with Moldovan academic and institutional partners.
Since 2005, FTZ has been actively involved in development projects focused on higher education, research capacity building, agriculture and rural development. What began as targeted support initiatives has evolved into a strong and sustainable partnership connecting universities, researchers, students and institutions in both countries.
