The aim of the ACCES Project is to support and further develop college teaching-learning process which will be oriented on labor market demands in the field of agriculture and ecology.
The rapid progress can be achieved in case there is a reasonable cooperation among developed institute and universities in Europe which is one of the main goals of the project.
