Curriculum development for organic agriculture was the initial point of an Erasmus
group of 7 universities from 1995 till 1998. The expansion of EU member states
coincided with the growing interest of further member states to become part of this
informal group of university teachers. Since some years the group of meanwhile 23
countries is named ENOAT and seeks to improve the inter university exchange of
students and staff members, to encourage the dissemination and implementation of
organic agriculture courses, to organize annual meeting including workshops on
teaching methodology, and to organize summer courses on specific topics relevant for
organic agriculture
