Dr Rico Ihle visited the Technical University of Moldova in Chisinau to set-up the new MBA program within e-AgriMBA Project

The project e-AgriMBA started in September 2022 and will establish an electronic Pan-European Learning System for sustainable agribusiness MBA education. It will broaden the course portfolios of existing MBA programs by creating online learning and teaching tools. It will extend the AgriMBA network (https://www.ica-agrimba.eu/) by establishing a new MBA program at the Technical University of Moldova (TUM, https://utm.md/en/) based on the novel system. It addresses stakeholders’ specific needs which mirror the priorities of EU’s Digital Educational Action Plan (https://education.ec.europa.eu/focus-topics/digital-education/action-plan).

To accompany the preparation of this project, on 6-8.02.2023 dr Rico Ihle visited the TUM in Chisinau. Besides extensive discussions with the representative and professors of TUM, he also brainstormed with the head of the Moldovan Agency of Development and Modernization of Agriculture (https://adma.gov.md/) about a shared vision and business-oriented contents of the MBA program to be established. Moreover, Dr. Ihle has given a lecture to students of the Academy of Economic Studies (https://international.ase.md/en/) about EU legislation in the area of unfair trading practices (https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/common-agricultural-policy/agri-food-supply-chain/unfair-trading-practices_en). Moreover, he gave a lecture in front about 100 students and professors of the Faculty of Economic Engineering and Business (https://fieb.utm.md/) of TUM about the effects of Russia's invasion on global food and commodity prices (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-8489.12496).
