The project “From Theoretical-Oriented to Practical Training in the Agricultural Sector / TOPAS” has reached the final stage and the moment of summarizing and determining further areas of partnership in the direction of improving the quality of teaching and learning. The international project brought together scientists and business representatives from Ukraine, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Romania, Armenia and Uzbekistan in a strong synergy. Today it is a pleasure to announce the achievement of the results of the project implementation in the educational process of SNAU.
On June 16 and 17, the final meeting on the results of the project was held on the basis of Sumy National Agrarian University.

During the meeting participants shared the results of the TOPAS project in their universities.
One of the tasks of the project was to develop an intensive teacher training program. Thus, the project gave the opportunity to teachers and students of SNAU to take an internship in the academic mobility program at the University of Applied Sciences Weinstefan-Trisdorf (Germany), Rittle University College (UK), University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Iasi UASVM (Romania), Wroclaw University of Ecological and Natural Sciences WUELS.
The opening of the TOPAS educational and research laboratory within the project implementation created comfortable conditions for the introduction of innovative technologies in the educational process, in particular, holding international seminars with the participation of representatives of the University of Applied Sciences Weienstephan-Trisdorf (Germany) for teachers and students of SNAU to determine the economic efficiency of individual production processes, business planning, seminars with representatives of agribusiness.

Thanks to the project, a real transition was made from theoretical-oriented to practically-oriented education with the appropriate content and content of educational programs, with the strengthening of cooperation with agrarian business. Students have joined the practical field of agribusiness and have received the first results of data collection. During the internship, students were remotely accompanied by appointed tutors, who coordinated the collection of analytical data. Analytical data collected at the enterprises allowed students to get acquainted with the RegioMAX program, which was developed and licensed by the University of Applied Sciences Weinstefan-Trisdorf (Germany) for the use by partner universities in joint training courses. In the future, the calculations will be the basis for writing master’s theses and research work in the TOPAS laboratory.
