Project description
The AGRITECH EU - Digital Agriculture for Sustainable Development project aims to create a European catalogue of advanced training modules for professionals in digital agriculture. The project involves a network of 13 international partners, coordinated by the Department of Agricultural, Food and Agro-Environmental Sciences of the University of Pisa.
The EU AGRITECH project will strengthen agricultural education by integrating digital technologies. Through collaborative efforts in curriculum development and partnerships, the project aims to equip future agricultural professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in a digitalized agricultural landscape.
The AGRITECH EU project is a collaborative effort aimed at accelerating the digital revolution in the agricultural sector while promoting sustainable practices. This initiative, co-funded by the European Union, brings together a consortium of universities, experts, researchers and industrial partners dedicated to supporting progress in digital agriculture for sustainable development.
The main objective of the AGRITECH EU project is:
design and implementation of higher education programme(s) – Master's degree (at ISCED level 7 or equivalent):
- enrichment of existing bachelor's and master's studies
- development of related stand-alone modules/courses (online or in person)
- train digital transition specialists for farms and food companies, leading to recognized certifications.
These goals will be achieved by a European consortium of 7 higher education institutions, 5 companies and 1 research and excellence center.
