People Behind UNIgreen: Rumyana Georgieva

Could you please introduce yourself?

My name is Rumyana Georgieva, and I am a Chief Assistant Professor in the Crop Science Department at the Agricultural University of Plovdiv. I am part of the Work Package 6: “Knowledge transfer, Society and Ecology”, which is dealing with the Ecological footprint compensation programme, Curricula Rethinking and Forward-Looking skills, Knowledge Triangle programme, and the Skills and Mentoring Labs for employability. 

Which added value or benefits of UNIgreen would you like to highlight, and why?

The primary benefit of UNIgreen is the collaborative environment it creates, promoting the exchange of best practices among institutions. It encourages the development of synergies between teaching, research, business, and industry, helping to enhance green skills development, generate knowledge, and create solutions that address the needs of local communities and the labor market. As a result, it facilitates a smoother transition for students into the workforce by aligning their skills with market demands. 

Please tell us what UNIgreen means to you and use one word to describe it.

To me, UNIgreen represents “diversity,” which encompasses a range of opportunities, perspectives, and ideas.
