5th transnational project meeting for the ETICOF project
20.10.2025
On 6-8 October 2025, the fifth meeting of the ETICOF project partners took place in Weimar, Germany. The meeting was organised by the partner institution Thüringer Ökoherz e.V. In addition to the host university, the meeting was attended by the representatives of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Slovakia, the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences in Gödöllő, Hungary as well as the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt, Germany. The main objective of the meeting was to evaluate the current status of project implementation, finalise the content and design aspects of the main project results, and plan further steps regarding the implementation of individual project activities.
During the meeting, the partners discussed primarily the final versions of the project results – teaching materials and an exemplary module course intended for university students, as well as a Pedagogical Guide intended for university teaching staff. The main part of the meeting was dedicated to the structure and content of the Practitioners’ Handbook for representatives of agricultural practice, especially farmers who plan to convert to organic farming.
During the meeting, the partners visited Landgut Weimar Bio GmbH – a dairy farm, whose representatives shared with the partners their experiences with the process of conversion to organic farming.
