Participants presentations were held on the first day of the Study
Tour in order to homogenize the group and to verify all need and
interests. During further days special lectures were delivered for the
participants to be more familiar with contemporary situation in the area
of agricultural engineering and food processing in the Czech Republic.
The discussions with management of enterprises took the part of all
