What potential lies in tropical plants traditionally used in local medicine and nutrition? This was one of the questions explored by Dr. Marketa Houdkova from the Laboratory of Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology (LEE) at the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, during a research visit to the Pacific island nation of Samoa. The mobility was carried out within the Erasmus+ KA171 programme, with the main aim of strengthening cooperation with local scientific institutions and exploring new opportunities for joint research.

The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (FTZ) at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU Prague) recently welcomed a distinguished delegation from the Royal University of Agriculture (RUA), Cambodia. The visit took place within the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility programme and provided another opportunity to strengthen the long-standing partnership between the two universities.
