In the period from 08-10.06.2023. In 2008, the University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Bucharest organized an international conference named “Agriculture for Life, Life for Agriculture”. The conference is being held for the 12th time in a row. This year, the coordinator of the VIRAL project, Prof. Dr. Miljan Cvetković, took part in the conference. Professor Cvetković, as an invited lecturer within the section for Horticulture, presented a paper entitled “Digital technologies integration in modern orchards – opportunities and challenges”. The work is a presentation of the use of equipment acquired through the VIRAL project in the orchards of the Faculty of Agriculture. The paper specifically analyzes the advantages that the use of this equipment brings, as well as the challenges that arise when using it. The work aroused the great interest of the present participants. The conference was attended by many participants from European countries and China. The conference was an excellent opportunity to establish new contacts and develop cooperation.
