Project “Laboratory Practice Training for Specialists of the Agro-Food Sector in Eastern Europe/Ag-Lab”
A working meeting of the supervisory board of the Erasmus + project “Laboratory Practice Training for Specialists of the Agro-Food Sector in Eastern Europe/Ag-Lab” was held at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University on October 22. Representatives of the project’s international consortium member universities and state laboratories (working in the field of food and agricultural products safety), including from Slovenia, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Moldova participated in the meeting.
Within the framework of the project “Laboratory Practice Training for Specialists of the Agro-Food Sector in Eastern Europe/Ag-Lab,” TSU has significantly intensified a laboratory training component. Moreover, new interdisciplinary laboratory modules were created in agrarian, food, health and environmental biotechnology fields. Labs were rehabilitated, new textbooks and lifelong learning certification courses were developed.
The project is being implemented within the framework of the EU-funded Erasmus + program. Leading universities, research centers, labs and non-governmental organizations from Italy, France, Slovenia, Poland and Bulgaria are involved. The project aims at creating mechanisms and uniform platform of effective and mutually beneficial collaboration between universities and laboratories.
“As part of the EU-supported project ongoing at TSU, experts from Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova will have an opportunity to undergo laboratory training that will promote the improvement of food and agricultural products safety in our country,” Vice Rector of TSU, Nino Okribelashvili said.
Georgian students paid one-month study visit to the University of Teramo through international mobility program, where they familiarized themselves with modern laboratory methods. “Students from Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine can easily pay study visits to the EU member states,” Dr Marija Klopčič, project coordinator, said.
Nino Inasaridze, head of MA and BA degree programs in applied biosciences and biotechnology, said that “Ag-Lab is a result-oriented project, which will promote further employment of graduates of the TSU Department of Biology and, generally, the country’s economic development.”
