Smart Agro Hub had the pleasure of presenting the EXCEL4MED project to students at the 2nd Technical School of Athens, sparking curiosity and inspiring future change-makers in the agri-food sector.

During the session, held on 8 March 2024, students were introduced to EXCEL4MED’s mission: transforming Mediterranean food systems by promoting nutritious, sustainable production and valorising industrial side-streams across borders.

The presentation highlighted how innovation, research and cross-country collaboration can address real-world challenges in agriculture and food processing.

EXCEL4MED: a catalyst for change

Smart Agro Hub’s visit was not just about showcasing technology — it was about planting the seeds of innovation!

The interactive presentation invited students to imagine their role in shaping the future of Mediterranean food ecosystems, encouraging them to think critically about sustainability, food security and the power of science in solving pressing issues.

By engaging with young minds, EXCEL4MED continues its commitment to education, awareness and empowerment.

This outreach activity reflects the project’s broader vision of fostering a knowledge-based, resilient, and sustainable agri-food sector across the Mediterranean.
