APPEAR

Despite a turbulent global and political environment, key activities in the fourth year of the APPEAR Programme included the final APPEAR selection board meeting, the start of the APPEAR project external evaluation, support and monitoring of ongoing projects, and engagement in various outreach events.

The SOAA team is pleased to share updates on project progress, highlighting key developments in strengthening organic agriculture in Armenia. The Rector of ANAU visited BOKU University in Vienna, reconnecting with partners, exploring their experimental station, and reinforcing institutional ties. A training on education quality standards brought BOKU’s expertise to ANAU. At Chir’s House, a unique workshop combined an excursion and a sujukh-making master class, offering full immersion into Armenia’s organic and traditional food culture. Through global partnerships, hands-on learning, and knowledge exchange, SOAA continues to foster a more sustainable and innovative agricultural sector.

As part of the ArmBioClimate project, Dr. Gábor Mészáros from BOKU University visited Yerevan State University (YSU) to enhance academic collaborations, provide specialized training in R programming, and contribute to curriculum development. His visit fostered key discussions on gender integration, institutional partnerships, and the advancement of biocontrol research in the face of climate change.
