KIT representatives presented the Agritech EU project at the EduLearn 2025 conference

At the EDULEARN international conference, organized by IATED on 29-30 June 2025 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, representatives of the AGRITECH EU project presented doc. Ing. Pavel Šimek, Ph.D., Ing. Eva Kánská, Ph.D. and doc. Ing. Jan Jarolímek, Ph.D. professional contribution dedicated to the future of education in agriculture entitled Realisation of European project AGRITECH EU.

The AGRITECH EU project aims to transform agricultural education through the integration of modern technologies and digital approaches. The aim is to create a European catalog of modules for teaching digital agriculture intended for educational institutions, farmers and experts in the agricultural sector. The project is coordinated by a consortium of universities, research institutions and companies from several European countries.

Thanks to this, students and professionals have access to modules covering areas such as data analysis and data management, IoT and sensors, cloud/edge computing, automation, robotics, sustainable farming methods, in the form of e-learning, face-to-face courses, workshops or practical internships.

The EDULEARN conference is one of the leading European forums focused on educational innovation and technology. Every year, it brings together hundreds of experts, academics, educators and technology specialists from all over the world.

The contribution "Realization of European project AGRITECH EU" presented the key milestones of the project so far — the creation of the catalog of modules, the coordination of the consortium, the basic concept of teaching digital agriculture and the planned impact on the educational systems in the participating countries.

The presentation emphasized that the project not only responds to the technological and digital challenges of modern agriculture, but also to the need for qualified human capital that can meaningfully use technology and implement it in practice.

The participation of KIT PEF ČZU representatives in Prague at the international conference underlines the university's active role in European research projects and innovative approaches to education. Thanks to the AGRITECH EU project, the possibility opens up for Czech educational programs to offer their students modern, digitally oriented courses preparing them for real challenges in agriculture.

Digitalization of agriculture, precision agriculture, sustainable management or automation of modern "smart" farms - these are the directions that will shape the field in the coming years. AGRITECH EU can thus play a key role in ensuring that future graduates are prepared both technologically and conceptually.
