The Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) organizes an annual student scientific conference for students from ELLS universities. The main theme of this year is The Power of Science - Many Perspectives on our World.

On April 28, 2023, FTA together with the Czech Evaluation Society organized a competition for students of bachelor's and master's programs in relevant fields related to the project cycle and evaluation. 

The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences hosted the Agrinatura General Assembly 2023 and scientific conference held from 10th May to 12th May. The General Assembly and international conference have proved to be a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration in agriculture for development. The Agrinatura General Assembly and conference brought together experts and professionals from different parts of the world to share ideas, experiences, and insights on various aspects of agriculture.

Almost 90 participants from 30 international institutions took part in these events and were actively engaged in the presentations, discussions, and networking sessions. Their presence made a significant impact on the quality of the event and helped create a platform for exchange and collaboration among attendees.

We would like to express gratitude to the esteemed speakers and presenters who shared their invaluable expertise and experiences during the conference.

The key topics discussed during the conference were:

• Challenges and opportunities for youth involvement in Food Systems Evolution
• Social innovations for Food Systems Transition
• Implementation of technical innovations in Agroecological practices

The programme of the conference is available here: Agrinatura 2nd Conference 2023 | Agrinatura (agrinatura-eu.eu)
