They agreed on the international accreditation of the Agrarian Management Master's Degree Program in Agricultural Management (IMA) in ACQUIN and the further cooperation on double diplomas between the VNAU and the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences. Studying at German universities is free of charge; both foreign and home students are taught in German paying much attention to the practical skills of the student. That’s why the practical training lasts five semesters, when students work on farms.

The work of the next days of the conference continued at the campus of Freising University, where a discussion forum was held on such topics as development of alternative energy; climate change; scientific research; food security; digitization in agriculture and the future of agriculture. German colleagues are convinced the most effective form of agriculture is small and medium-sized farming; they agreed to participate jointly in international alternative energy research projects. Our delegation also got acquainted with the state brewery, where students conduct practical classes.
