Thank you for joining us today, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík. As AgriSciences Platform was this year supported by Czech Republic Development Cooperation via Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic are excited to learn more about the AgriSciences Platform. To start, could you tell us about the inception and development of AgriSciences Platform over time?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík: Thank you for having me. The idea for AgriSciences Platform emerged from a collective desire to support and empower young teachers, researchers, and students in the field of AgriSciences in Ukraine. It was clear that there was a need for a centralized platform that would facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration among academia. The idea began to take shape in the early stages of 2018, and after meticulous planning and consultations with Ukrainian universities, the platform taking its shape and officially it was launched 2021. The reason behind that was, that we were continuously working in Ukraine since 2015. And we had there projects ever since. Among them Strengthening scientific capacities and cooperation of Ukrainian universities in AgriSciences, Interuniversity cooperation as a tool for enhancement of quality of selected universities in Ukraine, Support of young university capacity in education and research and science activities in Ukraine, International Credit Mobility: Cooperation between Czech Republic and Ukraine, Strengthening of capacity building in quality assurance and science at SNAU and SSU, Promotion of harmonization of the Bologna higher education system of agricultural universities in Ukraine.
