On November 4, 2025, the GEO-WB6 project team organized a stakeholder workshop during the ICOALS V conference. Representatives of the German Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity (BMLEH), German Embassy in Skopje, Agricultural University of Tirana (AUT), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) met to review the accomplished achievements and pave the way for future project activities. During the workshop, Prof. Fatbardh Sallaku, rector of AUT, announced that GEO-WB6 has recently been officially registered as an independent institution of the university, which is a crucial step towards ensuring the long-term sustainability of the centre. Moreover, we received very positive feedback on our work in the frame of the external project evaluation, and are confident that we can continue our activities in 2026.
