Project Summary

The use of modern technologies in the robotization of the agricultural sector makes it possible to move to new cost-effective models in the production.The most important goal of agricultural sector in regions, as well as agro-industrial complex as a whole, is the energy saving insurance, the development of modern agricultural technologies and equipment, which allow the use of modern resource-saving technologies. Based on this analysis, industry needed complex specialists with expertise in agricultural machinery,mechatronics, biotechnology, information technology, environmental engineering.Until now, most Russian and Iranian universities failed to adapt their education to employer’s new needs and, consequently, there is a mismatch between the available training and professional competences. Our project will promote cooperation between EU, Russia and Iran in the field of agro engineering; will enhance the integration of RU and IR in global education market; will integrate the main EU expert knowledge in the RU&IR education and will create a sustainable network between universities in the field of agro engineering. Specific objectives are: 1. To develop new curriculum of the master program “Agromechatronics”;2. To establish multinational cooperation network by development web-based educational network;3. To enhance innovation capacities by updating facility in PP universities for gaining practical skills;4. To establish virtual summer school “Sustainable Agriculture” among Partner Universities.It would impact rural area population by means of offered courses and virtual summer school. Our project is also intended to solve the problem of easily comparable academic degrees between EU, Russia and Iran, ensuring comparability programs of the higher education and the awarded diplomas/degrees.
