The E+ AgroPro project held its third Transnational Project Meeting on the 6th and 7th of March. ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa had the honour of hosting, providing the appropriate setting for international collaboration.

The two days of discussions and strategic planning throughout the event highlighted how important teamwork is to the project’s advancement. The atmosphere was charged with a collective enthusiasm for the project’s goals, fostering a space where ideas and innovations flourished.

Participants engaged in a series of comprehensive dialogues, focusing on several key components of the project. Notable topics included the finalisation of an e-Guide that explores new career avenues in agriculture through drone usage, progress on establishing a Competence Framework along with Competence Assessment indicators, advancements in the creation of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and digital tools for sustainable agriculture, and updates on dissemination efforts.

The AgroPro project aims to bridge the gap between the rapid technological advancements in the agriculture industry and the current lack of related education and skills among agriculture professionals. 

The Lisbon meeting was a significant milestone, marking the halfway point of the project with great success. The discussions and outcomes from this meeting have paved the way for the continued development and implementation of the project’s objectives, with participants leaving energised and optimistic about the future.
