„This course is about learning to see the landscape as a living system, and design as a language that allows students to engage with it, care for it, and design systems that protect life. There is undoubtedly a power multiplier here between two worlds, two countries, and two academic centers that want to work together for a better world,“ said Yoram Pony from the Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College, Israel.

Based on these presentations, JMC students formed groups, selected a topic, and designed a smart solution while maintaining continuous communication with the MENDELU students throughout the process. „MENDELU students selected and developed, from a theoretical perspective, a specific topic related to an ecological or environmental issue (e.g. radiation as an environmental problem, lack of urban green spaces, microplastic pollution; converting the threat posed by water hyacinth into sustainable solutions through biorefinery approaches and exploring sustainable energy for the future). Each student prepared a presentation and shared it with JMC students,“ described Milada Šťastná from the Department of Applied and Landscape Ecology at the Faculty of AgriSciences.
