We are working on our educational programs so as the knowledge of our graduates comply with the contemporary requirements, and, in this regard, we attach much value to the visits of Tuscia University professors and their lectures.’
The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Italy to Armenia Mr. Giovanni Ricciulli also welcomes the participants, ‘I’m delighted to see the University of Tuscia in the Republic of Armenia, particularly, in the field of excellence for the Italian society - food safety and food quality we have much experience to share with. Nowadays, food safety and food quality in Italy are extremely important issues. Armenia has always been popular with the quality of its food and food production. And now when Armenia intends to exports its food products into Eurasian Union and European markets, this issue is more important than ever. Due to Erasmus+, we have an opportunity to continue our cooperation and exchange of experience.’
