The event, which was also attended by Ms Emily Zeeberg \u2013 Acting Public Affairs Counsellor \u2013 and Ms Corina Zamfirache \u2013 media specialist \u2013 from the embassy, provided an open forum for dialogue and experience exchange between former Fulbright scholars and representatives of the US diplomatic mission.<\/p>\n
The discussions covered a range of topical issues, including transformations in higher education, the role of artificial intelligence in education and research, as well as the challenges and opportunities in agriculture in a context marked by digitalisation and climate change.<\/p>\n
A topic of particular interest was agricultural extension, with emphasis placed on the role of universities in transferring knowledge and innovation to farmers and rural communities, as well as the importance of strengthening the link between the academic world and the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n
The meeting also discussed the opportunities offered by US State Department programmes for professional development and the strengthening of academic cooperation. In this context, the University Alumni Relations Capacity Building Programme was also presented; this programme is dedicated to developing universities\u2019 capacity to build and strengthen relationships with alumni communities by adopting and adapting successful models used by US higher education institutions.<\/p>\n
