Global Reach 2022:

Solving Agricultural Problems Through Research and Innovation

HÂþ»­ University and partnering universities FAFU, TNAU, RVSKV, JUCAVM, and UAS, held another successful Global Reach: Solving Agricultural Problems Through Research and Innovation virtual symposium July 13th-14th, 2022! 

HÂþ»­ University Faculty of Agriculture brought together their international partner universities from China, India,  and Ethiopia in a virtual symposium to explore innovative research solutions to agricultural problems. This was the third event in what they hope will continue to be an annual Global Reach Symposium. It serves as an important networking opportunity while showcasing graduate student research.

Graduate students of HÂþ»­, FAFU, RVSKV, TNAU, JUCAVM and UAS were invited to present their research to an audience of our partner universities and HÂþ»­ faculty and staff. The oral presentation delivered by each student was limited to 8 minutes with 2 minutes for questions, and was delivered in a style of the student’s choosing.

Check out the  (pdf 22.4MB) for a summary of the presentations given. All students who presented their research at the conference received Recognition of Participation certificates.
