@International Agricultural Policy and Environmental Governance

During this period, he delivered two talks focusing on his recent research on food systems, artificial intelligence, and insights from his PhD research on the effects of urbanization on land use change. He also met with faculty members from the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, the Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The opportunity provided Yehya a platform to exchange research ideas and experiences, engage in meaningful discussions with students, and receive constructive feedback from researchers at AUB. This Erasmus exchange not only fostered academic dialogue but also highlighted the tangible benefits of international mobility in strengthening international ties between the University of Kassel and AUB, supporting personal and professional development, and enriching academic environments through different perspectives. Building on this experience, future work and research consortia will be developed, with proposals targeting upcoming funding calls to further enhance collaborative research and exchange between the two universities.
