Project title: University Studies of Agricultural Engineering in Europe [Thematic Network]

Coordinating institution: Agricultural University of Athens

Dates: 2003-2005 + 2006 (dissemination year)

Participant countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK

Subject area(s): Agricultural Engineering

Project objectives: The most important goal of this Thematic Network was to develop basic core curricula in Agricultural Engineering recognised by FEANI and by EurAgEng at a European level. This benchmark establishes a set of criteria/requirements for comparison with any curriculum in order to ascertain whether or not it meets the criteria for its admission as a programme of Agricultural Engineering studies in Europe.
