All research disciplines offer expertise in Agricultural Science and both theoretical and empirical knowledge are transferred to our students in the best possible way.  The Department aims to enhance Agricultural Sciences, develop critical thinking skills to students and present new scientists that perform at the highest quality standards. We pursuit our goals by providing high quality research and coordinating/participating in various national and European academic and research projects in order to dynamically contribute to the production of new knowledge, as required by modern science.
