On 28 May 2026, a seminar was held within the framework of the AGROPATH – Advanced Geomatics and Remote Observation for Precision Agriculture in Higher Education project, bringing together representatives of the agricultural holding ACRIS AGRO, as well as students and academic staff.

During the seminar, participants learned about the specific features of modern agricultural business, approaches to land bank management, and the practical application of digital technologies in agricultural production. Particular attention was paid to the use of geoinformation technologies and digital solutions to support management and production processes in the agricultural sector.
Representatives of ACRIS AGRO also presented opportunities for the professional development of young specialists, internships, and career opportunities in the agricultural sector.

The meeting was held in an open and interactive format, allowing participants to discuss current issues related to the development of the agricultural sector. The exchange between academia and industry representatives helped to better identify the practical needs of modern agribusiness and the competencies required by future professionals.
As a result of the seminar, the participants agreed to continue their cooperation and organise further meetings. Such interaction contributes to strengthening the practical component of agricultural education and fostering closer links between higher education institutions and the agricultural sector in line with the objectives of the AGROPATH project.
