PAMEA Presents AGRITECH at CACIE 2026 and Explores Shandong Cooperation

The Beijing forum opened discussions on joint training, European–Chinese farm cases and a possible AGRITECH pilot with Shandong Agricultural University.

Beijing, China | 30–31 October 2026

Dr. Eng. Daniel AMARIEI presents AGRITECH at CACIE 2026, Beijing.

PAMEA participated in the China–CEEC Modern Agricultural Science and Education Innovation Forum, held in Beijing during the 2026 China Annual Conference & Expo for International Education (CACIE). Representing PAMEA and the AGRITECH project, Dr. Eng. Daniel AMARIEI delivered a presentation entitled “From Partnership to Practice”, outlining potential cooperation with Shandong Agricultural University (SDAU) and the China–CEEC Modern Agricultural Science and Education Innovation Alliance.

The event followed PAMEA’s participation in Shandong in May 2026, when the organisation was elected a Council Member of the China–CEEC Alliance. The October discussions, followed by a visit to SDAU, offered an opportunity to examine specific education and agricultural innovation activities with Chinese counterparts.

PAMEA serves as AGRITECH Co-coordinator and Communication Manager and leads Work Package 2, Innovative Learning Environment, and Work Package 6, Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation. The presentation introduced AGRITECH’s seven-module training programme, online learning environment, practical scenarios and European Knowledge Hubs. Its subjects include artificial intelligence, agricultural sensors, data computing, blockchain and the management of advanced agricultural technologies.

If a formal cooperation agreement is reached, PAMEA could develop closer working links with SDAU lecturers, researchers and agricultural organisations, gain access to comparative teaching cases, and help prepare future joint training or research proposals, subject to programme eligibility. AGRITECH could benefit from feedback on its modules in a different agricultural setting, new European–Chinese case studies and practical evidence for improving its training materials. Chinese partners could access adaptable European learning resources and exchange experience with AGRITECH’s Knowledge Hubs.

A proposed first activity is a Knowledge Hub Twin: one European AGRITECH hub and an SDAU teaching team would select a module, work with a shared farm problem such as irrigation decisions from sensor data, and assess learning results through practical tasks and a joint case brief. No AGRITECH–SDAU pilot or formal agreement is being announced at this stage. Any activity would require agreement on roles, content permissions and institutional approvals.The next step is to identify focal points and assess a focused preparation plan. PAMEA will continue discussions on a realistic cooperation model that can deliver documented educational results. More information is available at www.pamea.eu and www.agritech-project.eu.
