International
The research unit is involved in the programs:
- ARFAGRI, University Mobility and Agroecology Program (PUMA) for the construction and consolidation of bilateral cooperation between Argentina and France, as well as university partnerships between agronomy, agribusiness and veterinary schools in both countries,
- Erasmus+ program "Urban Green Train" which aims to encourage pioneering initiatives of entrepreneurship in urban agriculture. The unit appears as a stakeholder of Agreenium, in collaboration with the University of Bologna, Horticity, Mammut Film, STePS, VEGEPOLYS VALLEY, RUAF foundation, Fachhochschule Südwestfalen, Hei-tro gmhb and Grow thePlanet.
VAAME Doctoral School
The EPHor research unit is a member of the VAAME doctoral school (of which a member of the unit is deputy director), which manages doctoral students in the fields of plants, animals, food, the sea and the environment.
The VAAME doctoral school also organizes annual scientific days during which doctoral students present their work. It also regularly organizes job and company forums. Each year, several doctoral contracts are offered.
