From the 26th to the 28th of August two IARD students participated in the EAAE (European Association of Agricultural Economists) 14th Congress in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The participation pf the IARD students in this internationally and scientifically acclaimed event was possible thanks to DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauch Dienst) sponsorship.
The agenda of the congress consisted of different plenary sessions, organized sessions (with a mediator), contributed sessions, poster presentations and study tours. Equally frequent were the opportunities for networking that included various social activities.
The following is a summary highlighting the main activities the IARD students took part in:
