Speakers presented applied and scientific research aspects, and showcased projects implemented across various countries in Northern and Southern Europe, Asia, and East Africa. In addition, there was a technical tour of the Agrovoltaic facility where a REMTECH two-axis tractor is in place, in the 10-hectares study site of the Catholic University of Piacenza.
Dr. Moshe Meron, team member of MIGAL, presented remotely the research activities on-going in the LENSES pilot area in Israel, where the installation of APV panels in orchards have been tested. He received many positive reactions from the audience. The delegation from Israel took the opportunity to visit the pilot site of the Catholic University of Piacenza.
