    Be(e) theraphy project aimed to create a higher education curriculum for the project partner countries, particularly in apiterapy, which is addressed in traditional and complementary medicine in higher education. This was achieved through a qualified methodology. In accordance with the curriculum, apitherapy handbooks were written and published in Turkish, English, Slovakian, Polish and Lithuanian languages. In this context, project consortium developed an innovative guide and competitive curriculum and an e-learning course for academic teachers and master students. Project objectives provided to the stakeholders; harmonized the higher educational offerings with existing local resources in project partner countries and an apitherapy curricula developed to the students with all methods necessary in order to apply apitherapy with good results; Be(e) therapy projct helped to the university students how they can build their own apitherapy data bases, and their own apitherapy libraries; prepared the “ground” for future apitherapy clinics or offices and local (national) further apitherapy course and also project provided some training during the master program for MSc students. During the project lifetime all project partner planned joint master degree programs with EU partner universities. Already apitherapy in Turkey (Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University /COMU) was introduced as a graduate course curriculum and implemented. In some Polish universities (WUELS), apitherapy applications have started to take place in traditional and complementary medicine applications. During the project all team have promoted environmental awareness through the education and teachers and students training and a large number of people from all participating countries, especially MSc students, undergraduate students and from different professional groups (Agricultural Engineering, Biologists, Veterinary Medicine, Medical Doctors, Beekeepers, etc.) were involved in the project activities. Due to the intense interest in apitherapy applications, propolis courses and workshops were organized at COMU and approximately 600 participants attended these meetings. Similar practices were also carried out in PL, LT and SK, and many participants attended them. Through this course, workshops,multiplier events, and other activities, a significant awareness was raised, especially about the importance of bee products in health protection and the long-term use of many diseases. The target group's knowledge about apitherapy was updated especially through e-learning courses and printed materials, and special attention was paid to disseminating the findings obtained in the field of evidence-based medicine through all project products. Apart from the apitherapy handbooks, two main e- learning platform were held under the titles apiedu and bee theraphy as www.apiedu.eu and https://bee-therapy.eu/. Through these learning platforms, especially higher education students and academic staff will be informed about the subject. On the other hand, training programs, workshops and courses on different subjects were organized in each country in line with the objectives of the project and trainings were realized by reaching the target group. For the purposes of the project, the project partners organized various dissemination and awareness activities in their own countries. With all these activities and products, a strong emphasis was placed on the importance of traditional and complementary medicine, especially in the project coordinator country and other partner countries, especially in the case of industrial medicine. With this project, it is foreseen that the tendencies towards the use of medicine will change at least in part, people can overcome some diseases without using drugs and moreover, health protection will create a strong awareness.

    The aim of the submitted project was to strengthen cooperation in the field of innovation of pedagogical activities between selected higher education institutions and professional practice in the field of agriculture. The area of cooperation was the issue of education, focusing on small and family farms and their functions (business, economic, production, organizational, technical, environmental and social functions). From a regional point of view, the project focused on small farms in selected regions of Europe. Recently, business networks have started to expand rapidly in developed countries as a form of cooperation agreements associating together small farms and bringing a special effect to the economy and business (especially in terms of cost reduction, use of new technologies, more information, etc.). The project also focused on the issue of young farmers, who are the future of agriculture and they must first apply innovative business tools. For this reason, the project involved not only universities (Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Mendel University in Brno and Vytatutas Magnus University in Kaunas), but also partners of the association of young farmers from Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary (6 subjects altogether).The aim of the project was to evaluate the individual functions of farms and to identify and quantify the key determinants of the sustainability of small farms in selected regions of Europe with respect to natural conditions as well as to ensure food self-sufficiency in selected analyzed regions. The aim of the project was to evaluate the individual functions of farms and to identify and quantify the key determinants of the sustainability of small farms in selected regions of Europe with respect to natural conditions as well as to ensure food self-sufficiency in selected analyzed regions. The outputs of the project were intellectual outputs: common methodology of farm and commodity evaluation in selected EU countries, analyzes of small farm evaluation in selected EU regions, specified innovative algorithm of small farm for individual anlyzed regions, which can be used in the teaching process and also serves as a basis for research. The algorithm was developed as a program product in several language versions and was applied to all project partners. Within the project three transnational project meetings were organized (Nitra, Slovakia; Prague, Czech Republic; Kaunas, Lithuania), where partners discussed about project activities and divided others for the next period. There were organised two multiplier events, which were the part of international scientific conferences (Nitra, Slovakia; Kaunas, Lithuania). The reason of joined activities with conferences was the big amount of domestic and foreign participants at one place and there was a bigger possibility of dissemination of project results. Within the project two training activities were organised (Soponya, Hungary; Haklovy Dvory-České Budějovice, Czech Republic) for project partners, where participants could learn more about the work from domestic and foreign colleagues as well as from farmers. By discussions at project meetings, training activities and multiplier events we could complete all outputs of the project. They can be used in the academic and research field and between farmes and experts. The most important output of the project is a software – program product which can be used by all interested users. The product can help in the decision – making process for the farmers, who want to make efficient activities with the aim to gain a profit and with the help of software they can program different situations in the business. The program product will be update annually and with this the sustainability of the project will be ensure.
