Exkurze byla podpořena Ministerstvem zemědělství ČR s finančním příspěvkem z programu Celostátní sítě pro venkov za účelem podpoření inovací v ovocnářství a ekologické produkce ovoce.
Exkurze se zúčastnili ovocnáři, školkaři, pracovníci ÚKZÚZ a také výzkumní pracovníci. Exkurze byla zorganizována na vysoké odborné úrovni, k vidění byly nejnovější poznatky a inovační postupy v pěstování ovocných kultur v závislosti na změně klimatu, šíření nových ras patogenů, invazivních škůdců a podobně, které je možno ihned využít v praxi. Navštíveny byly významné výzkumné instituce (INRAE Francie; https://www.inrae.fr), Walloon Agricultural Research Center; https://www.cra.wallonie.be), šlechtitelská a školkařská stanice (DALIVAL – IFO; https://www.ifo-fruit.com; https://www.dalival.com), ekologické výsadby ovocných druhů (vlašské ořechy - NOK la noix bio; www.noklanoixbio.com), ciderie - Cider Farm Corinne and Hugues Desfrièches; https://www.calvados-huguesdesfrieches.org) a další.

The research activity of the institute includes practically all fruit crops that are grown on the territory of the Czech Republic as market cultures. As part of the solution of research projects supported by various providers (MZe/ NAZV, MŠMT, GAČR, MK, TAČR), it creates almost all types of outputs defined by the Research Organizations' Results Evaluation Methodologies and submitted to the Register of Results Information. These are both results of a publishing nature and applied results. Researchers and scientists publish research results in impacted, peer-reviewed, as well as in other professional and popular journals. The organization has been publishing Scientific Work on Fruit Growing for 60 years. The journal publishes original scientific works from the fruit growing industry. It is a peer-reviewed journal included in the List of peer-reviewed non-impact journals (periodicals) published in the Czech Republic. It is cited in CA B Abstracts/Horticultural Science Abstracts, Plant Breeding Abstracts, AGRIS. The successfully commercialized results include legally protected varieties, so far almost 85 varieties of individual fruit species have been entered and registered, other varieties are still undergoing the registration process. A number of varieties were granted a protection of rights in the Czech Republic and subsequently in the European Union. In particular, there is a great interest in cherry varieties in the world, two varieties have been granted a US Plant Patent. Furthermore, several results in the field of pilot plant and verified technologies were realized and contractually handed over to the user in VŠÚO Holovousy in the last five-year period. An important component of the transfer of research results into practice are growing methodologies, which are passed on to users - professionals - professional fruit growers
