Description:
AgriSCALE is a joint initiative by 9 HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) in Finland, Kenya, Italy, Uganda and Zambia. Together they work to reform agri-entrepreneurship education to equip graduates with working life-relevant and entrepreneurial skills. The new generation will have the competencies to create jobs and to improve the sustainability of agriculture.
The consortium believes in learning through doing. Students will solve real-life business challenges in multinational teams to find new sustainable business opportunities. As a result, a new network-based learning ecosystem will be created by partner HEIs, the industrial sector and societal partners for continuous development of education even after the project lifetime.
