Educational Cooperation for Climate Expertise in the Land Use Sector, KOMIO

Objectives

The aim of the project was to compile and implement the results of the RDI projects of universities of applied sciences related to sustainable agricultural production, especially projects funded from Hiilestä Kiinni package, and to take them to AgriHub and other communication channels used by target groups in a coordinated manner and to utilise them from there.

The project had excellent conditions for cooperation between educational institutions and researchers, as the participating universities of applied sciences carry out both natural resource education and RDI activities.

Strengthening the climate expertise of the land use sector, especially in the following target groups: agricultural and forestry entrepreneurs, advisors, teachers, natural resource students and other target groups interested in the theme.

• The compilation and implementation of the results of projects in the land use sector to a wider group of agricultural and forestry entrepreneurs and advisors and to the teaching of polytechnics

• Ensuring up-to-date learning provision in the land use sector

• Strengthening cooperation between higher education institutions in the field of natural resources

• The strengthening of Agrihub’s role in knowledge sharing, especially among RDI actors, teaching staff and students linked to the natural resources sector of universities of applied sciences.

• Clarification of the profile of the natural resource sector in universities of applied sciences

The project will be implemented as a joint project of nine universities of applied sciences. The main coordinator of the project is Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SeAMK) and the co-executors are HAMK, JAMK, Karelia, Lapland UAS, Novia, OAMK, Savonia and Xamk.
