Choice of partnership
For 10 years, l'Institut Agro Rennes-Angers has chosen to partner to develop its research activities.
The 13 research units (11 of which are under the authority of l'Institut Agro Rennes-Angers, and with 3 of which it is associated) cover the 5 main areas with high application potential that l'Institut Agro Rennes-Angers is keen to develop :
- Vegetal, animal, systems
- Environmental issues - resources, territories and urban planning
