IAAS (International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences), operating within the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies of Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, has been awarded support with the project it prepared within the scope of the ÜNİDES 3rd Term Program organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
With this supported project, the IAAS Niğde Local Committee will carry out a series of academic and institutional visits to the agricultural faculties of the leading universities of our country. The visit plan includes the following universities, respectively:
- Ankara University Faculty of Agriculture
- Konya Selçuk University Faculty of Agriculture
- Adana Çukurova University Faculty of Agriculture
- Karaman Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University Technical Sciences Vocational School
- Necmettin Erbakan University Ereğli Faculty of Agriculture
Within the scope of these visits, a presentation series titled “IAAS and Digital Agriculture Vision” of the project called DIJI IAAS will be held by the IAAS Niğde Local Committee. New approaches, technological developments and young people's contributions to this transformation that emerged with the digitalization of the agricultural sector will be discussed; information and experience sharing will be provided with students and academic stakeholders at universities.
In addition, it is aimed to establish local committees of the IAAS community at the universities visited within the scope of this project, and concrete steps will be taken to develop inter-university cooperation and sustainable project partnerships. This initiative, which is expected to make a significant contribution in the context of strengthening the IAAS Turkey structure and expanding international student networks, also aims to increase the social and scientific awareness of young people in the field of agricultural education.
