From January 20 to 24, the opening event of the Erasmus+ ReGrow project funded by the European Union was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, where GTU representatives participated.
In particular, the event was attended by Giorgi Mikiashvili, Head of the GTU Technology and Grant Projects Office, and Tea Murvanidze, Head of the International Relations Department.
At the meeting, the Georgian Technical University representatives held negotiations with partners and discussed the prospects for future cooperation with leading European universities. The audience at the opening event spoke about the three-year implementation stages of the project and its main goals.
The ReGrow project aims to modernize and internationalize higher education in Georgia and Ukraine by creating a Master’s degree program in Precision Agriculture.
The project combines an innovative curriculum based on sustainable practices, advanced technologies, and digital transformation. Its goal is to provide university academic staff, students, and agricultural professionals with modern knowledge and skills that will contribute to the implementation of innovations in sustainable agricultural development.
The project will create a ReGrow MSc Curriculum Framework, which will be based on detailed research, analyzing current trends, labor market demands, and existing education gaps.
In addition, the project will support the retraining of academic staff and trainers to align their knowledge and skills with labor market needs.
