As part of the Erasmus+ VIRAL project, a training was held at the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro in order to promote digital transformation and the application of ICT in agriculture. Representatives from University of Donja Gorica prepared a presentation entitled “Digital transformation in agriculture” as part of the Digital Day, on Friday, July 22, 2022. starting at 1 p.m., in the premises of the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro. As part of the presentation, an overview of the activities of the VIRAL project was given. The presentation covered foundations of the process of digital transformation and the application of ICT solutions in agriculture. During the presentation and discussions, other project relevant to ICT and digital transformation in agriculture were featured including EuroCC and AIMHiGH projects. This topic is fully in line with Montenegrin Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3 Montenegro), and we concluded that another similar workshop needs to be organized in Fall of 2022.

EuroCC project and NCC Montenegro were featured in success stories video for Smart Specialisation Strategy for Montenegro (S3). Ministry of science and technological development joined forces with UNDP to create a new website platform to promote and manage activities related to Montengrin S3. UDG is currently implemented several projects that are fully in line with Montenegrin S3 and H2020 EuroCC was featured in the video as one of the flagship projects for Montengrin S3. The priority domains of Montenegrin S3 are agriculture and food production, health and tourism, and energy. Information communication technology is recognized as a horizontal priority that will provide foundation for multidisciplinary research and applications.
