More than 100 people participate in Agrotecnio’s first teambuilding activity

The Agrotechnology Research CERCA Centre, Agrotecnio, was created in 2012 and since then has maintained a steady growth trajectory. With more than 150 scientists organised into fifteen research groups and linked to two Catalan universities, Agrotecnio is today one of the most important agrotechnology research centres in Spain. However, it had never brought together all the staff to get to know each other across groups and areas, until today.

In 2016, Agrotecnio was recognized as a CERCA center. The result of our evaluation confirmed that our activities are at the forefront of agri-food science nationally and internationally

The recognition of our work inspires us to maintain the high level of scientific research at Agrotecnio, enhancing our translation activities with industry and the community in general through the development of joint R+D+i projects

The spring of 2023 is proving to be one of the driest of the century on the Iberian Peninsula. March was a particularly dry month and, according to data from the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), it was also one of the warmest of the century, with 1.8ºC above average for this time of year.

leida Tech workshop on artificial intelligence and optimisation promotes contact between academia and the business world

How are artificial intelligence, data science and optimisation systems applied in the efficient digitalisation of businesses? For two days, on 26 and 27 October, the Lleida Tech congress has tried to answer this question thanks to the participation of staff from universities, research centres and national and international companies. As a research centre and collaborator of the Agrobiotech Park of Lleida, Agrotecnio has contributed to the organisation of these conferences.
