The article presents the Erasmus+ project BENEFIT implemented from 2020 to 2023 as an example of cooperation between universities in the European Union and Palestine. The key objective of the project was to support digital farms and the application of smart technologies in precision agriculture. The project was primarily focused on the university sphere, so one of the main outputs was the preparation of study courses related to precision agriculture at Palestinian universities, where European partners oversaw evaluation to ensure the courses met modern education quality requirements. The project also included developing new technologies and transferring ideas and solutions to the commercial sphere. This paper is focused on the part of the project solved at VŠTE in České Budějovice. Among other things, VŠTE analysed successful digital farm solutions in the Czech Republic and supervised some of the prepared training courses. As part of the project solution, a scientific meeting was also held in Prague in September 2022, where the method of aquaponics fish farming combined with the cultivation of useful plants (Aquaponia Hostomice) was presented to the Palestinian participants.
