Toulouse INP-AgroToulouse organized its event "Life, Agriculture and Veterinary Science and Education in Toulouse" in partnership with EI Purpan, ENVT and ENSFEA.

These events strengthened existing partnerships and brought discussions for new academic collaborations. The teams of Toulouse INP and its Schools participated in all the events, and represented Toulouse INP as well as the UNIVERSEH project, on the UT stand. They welcomed many partners to develop and sign agreements to open new opportunities for student mobility, expand existing collaborations, present projects, discuss common objectives and consolidate partnerships.
