Within the framework of the Programme of the Czech Government for the support of young scientists Melnyk Olena, Ph.D., Assoc. Prof. of Department of Ecology and Botany, Sumy NAU, Erasmus + project coordinator of Jean Monnet Chair «EU Climate Leadership» visited the Faculty of Tropical Agriscience at the University of Life Sciences in Prague (Czech Republic).
During the internship there was a great opportunity to get acquainted with the University campus, which positions itself as eco-friendly, to talk to Czech colleagues from the project department and to present SNAU`s team work within the Erasmus + Jean Monnet Chair project “EU Climate Leadership”. Olena Melnyk also visited the biofuel laboratory and discussed with Professor T.

A useful addition to the internship program was participation in the online conference Tropentag Conference.
For young scientists, an internship is a great experience and a new step towards development.
