AGRITECH EU – Digital agriculture for sustainable development project aims to develop a European catalogue of advanced educational modules for experts in digital agriculture. The project involves a network of 13 international partners, coordinated by the Department of Agricultural, Food and Agro-environmental Sciences at the University of Pisa.
The primary objective of the AGRITECH EU project is:
- the design and delivery of higher education programme(s) – I level master (at ISCED LEVEL 7 or equivalent) –
- the enrichment of existing bachelor and master’s degrees
- the development of related self-standing modules/courses (online or in-person)
to train specialists in digital transition for farms and food companies, leading to recognized certifications.
These objectives will be achieved by a European consortium of 7 higher education institutions, 5 businesses (SMEs and large companies) and 1 research and excellence centre.
The project will enhance agricultural education by integrating digital technologies. Through collaborative efforts in curriculum development and partnerships, the project seeks to equip future agricultural professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills for success in a digitalized agricultural landscape.
The AGRITECH EU project represents a collaborative effort aimed at catalyzing a digital revolution within the agricultural sector while promoting sustainable practices. Co-funded by the European Union, this initiative brings together a consortium of universities, experts, researchers and industry partners dedicated to driving advancements in digital agriculture for sustainable development.
