From January 29 to 31, 2025, the CIHEAM-IAMM organised in its premises the Kick-off meeting of the INSIST-VAT project, an Erasmus+ Capacity Building project in the field of Agricultural Vocational Training (CB-VET).
Around twenty participants representing the 8 partners from the 4 countries involved (Albania, Kosovo, Spain and France) worked on the organisation of future activities, the governance of the consortium and the administrative and financial issues.

Visits to organisations working in the field of agricultural vocational training were also organised:

The aim of the INSIST-VAT project is to set up a training programme at the Agricultural University of Tirana (AUT) involving national and regional stakeholders, to serve as the basis for Albania's agricultural knowledge and innovation system. This project is designed to meet the objectives set for the AUT by the Albanian Ministry of Agriculture. These are to design a 'producers' training centre' and to offer training courses tailored to the needs of farmers and extension agents.
A dedicated website will be online soon!
INSIST-VAT is a CB-VET Erasmus+ project co-funded by the European Union.
