Dr. Poonpipope Kasemsap gave a brief description about how the project was conceptualized until its approval by the European Union.

For his message, Dr. Didier Pillot highlighted that the project was a result of two years’ effort and preparations and is “a realization that there is a need to be met within each partner university to better address the challenges in training the professionals” that will shape the future of agriculture.

 Dr. Didier also emphasized that the project will pose a challenge to the partner universities to take a look at their current systems and structure to better address the needs of the target professionals.
