Objectives
New challenges related to the development of precision agriculture and environmental regulations place information technologies at the heart of life sciences, today more than ever. As a result, mastering digital technologies is a challenge for production and service providers and companies. Whatever the sector, professionals capable of understanding business needs and of designing and implementing innovative solutions to meet the demand are required.
The AgroTIC specialization aims to train these professionals, engineers with two competences: agronomy AND digital technologies.
Themes
- precision farming, ICT
- agronomy, agroecology
- information technology and biostatistics
- natural resources, environment, territories
-
Programme
Number of ECTS credits : 60

AgroTIC group project
A group project responding to a demand from a company is conducted during the 6-month training program. Through the project, students gain a better understanding of project management tools and methods.
Assessment
- Theory: Assessment of each student’s personal performance using methods from the professional world (based on two individual interviews, in the middle and at the end of the theoretical training).
- Writting: writing and presenting an end-of-study report.
Internships
Compulsory internship (6 month).
Examples of internships from prior years:
- How to improve the quality of botanical observation data within a participatory science project (Tela botanica organisation)
- Implementation of a diagnostic and optimization tool for the farm machinery (WeFarmup company)
- Proposal of methods for rasterization of tuna fishery data (IRD)
- Functional analysis to merge two decision support tools for the insect pest monitoring (Syngenta company)
- Contribution of Sentinel-2 images for the evaluation of a decision support tool intended for the water management of the vine (ITK company)
- Contribution of digital technology in experiments for varietal selection: application cases on water stress in maize (Hiphen company)
- Development of a web application allowing the visualization of natural area components in urban areas ( Natural Solutions company)
- Implementation of an innovative digital platform project in the field of water recycling ( Ecofilae company)
- Design a serious game on the theme of farm management (Ekylibre company)
- Evaluation of within field variability by remote sensing: development of a multispectral UAV image processing chain for agriculture (Reflet du Monde company)
