In mid January, representatives from NORBE visited Kaunas in order to facilitate collaboration between the Baltic Biosystems Engineering Network, the North-Western Russian representative - the St. Petersburg State Agrarian University and NORBE. The outcome were an agreement that the Nordic, Baltic and North-West Russian School of Biosystems Engineering will apply for funds to construct and implement an international MSc framework within Biosystems Engineering through collaboration between 9 national agricultural universities and a number of international commercial companies. Moreover, it was agreed that NORBE in the near future would also apply for funds to set up a framework for PhD education within the 9 member countries.
