AGRITECH EU (Digital Agriculture for Sustainable Development) is a Digital Europe Project coordinated by the University of Pisa. After one year of activity, the project has already laid strong foundations for the development of high-level skills in digital agriculture through a blended learning model, combining technological, agronomic, and socio-economic expertise.
Let’s take a look at some of the key moments from the past months and what’s next for the project!
FOCUS / Hands-on learning in Italy
The AgriTech EU Specialisation Program in Italy has successfully entered its third month, offering a combination of theory and practical experience in cutting-edge digital agriculture technologies.
👉 At CNR Pisa, participants focused on:
- commercial IoT boards, particularly Arduino
- board architecture and sensor integration
- developing sketches for data collection and storage
👉In Macerata, the spotlight was on:
- sensor data integration with open data
- innovative data visualization using Augmented Reality (AR)
- a hands-on visit to the AND Lab for real-world applications
These activities are equipping participants with the skills to navigate the challenges of sustainable agriculture through advanced digital tools.
NEWS / AGRITECH EU at the Digital Europe Programme Meeting
On March 17-18 the AGRITECH EU team took part in the DEP Projects Meeting in Luxembourg, co-organized by EU Digital & Tech, The European Executive Agency for Health and Digitalisation (HaDEA) and LEADSx2030.
Highlights from the event included:
✅ Discussions on future policy actions and funding for digital skills
✅ Exchange of experiences with other DEP projects
✅ Strengthening connections with key stakeholders from academia, industry, and policy
This was a significant step toward expanding AGRITECH EU’s impact and ensuring that digital agriculture remains a strategic priority at the European level.
