Following six weeks of online sessions, participants in the second edition of the Strategic Synergies in Agro-Food – A Holistic Journey Through Innovation, Sustainability, and Entrepreneurship (SHIFT) – Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) are this week gathering at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa for the programme's in-person component.

Throughout the week, 25 students from nine different nationalities will take part in workshops, technical visits, hands-on activities, and intercultural exchange sessions, deepening their knowledge of innovation, sustainability, and artificial intelligence applied to the agri-food sector.

Organised by Universidade Católica Portuguesa in partnership with the University of Bologna, the University of Zagreb, and the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, SHIFT continues to establish itself as an international learning experience that brings together students, academics, and partners to address the challenges shaping the future of food.
