AGRITECH

National Research Centre for Agricultural Technologies

ABSTRACT

By building upon pre-existing collaborative research, higher education initiatives, networking of infrastructures and large equipment sharing, Agritech partners have defined a programme motivated by the need to:

  • Combine the top research expertise required to adequately address in a truly multidisciplinary context the multifaceted problems associated with sustainable agriculture.
  • Integrate the research infrastructures and equipment available at each site.
  • Exploit and apply the most suitable Key Enabling Technologies (KET) that can allow a profitable advance in productivity, sustainability, ecological and digital transition in the agricultural sector.
  • Work with companies and farmers to co-design research efforts and exploit at the best the results to increase the resilience and economic competitiveness of agri-food supply chains.
  • Develop and disseminate new models and organizational capabilities to create and implement large- scale, strategic research programmes that cross discipline boundaries and industrial sectors.
  • Train the next generation of Agritech scientists and managers to generate the necessary human capital and skills required.
  • Support policy makers and influence public opinion to promote a social context favoring the development of stable and equitable agri-food supply chains.

The main characteristic of Agritech research programme is its structural organization, which reflects the high level of integration among a broad diversity of participating research institutions and companies.
