The 14th CASEE Conference, "The Role of the Life Sciences Universities in the Green Transition of Central and Eastern Europe”, was organised by the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between 19^th – 21^st of June 2024.

The 14^th CASEE Conference was where researchers, including doctoral students, endorsed exchanging ideas and knowledge and stimulated an interdisciplinary approach.

The conference programme consisted of six scientific sessions:

• Agronomy and Ecological Conservation
• Animal Science and Biotechnology
• Food Science and Technology
• Geodesy, Forestry, and Applied Exact Sciences
• Horticulture, Bioeconomy, and Landscape Architecture
• Veterinary Medicine – Preclinical and Clinical Sciences

At the end of the conference, the CASEE General Assembly was held, and it was decided that the legal entity of CASEE would be moved from Belgium to Romania. Romania has proven to have favourable conditions for international associations, and CASEE can rely on the support of the many CASEE member institutions, which was not the case in Belgium, as CASEE is a regionally focused Standing Committee of ICA without members from Western Europe.
