Choice of partnership
For 10 years, AGROCAMPUS OUEST has chosen to partner to develop its research activities.
The 13 research units (11 of which are under the authority of AGROCAMPUS OUEST, and with 3 of which it is associated) cover the 5 main areas with high application potential that AGROCAMPUS OUEST is keen to develop :
- Vegetal, animal, systems
- Environmental issues - resources, territories and urban planning
- Fisheries science, sea, coastal zones
- Food science
- Landscapes
Its 130 research-lecturers conduct academic or applied research, intended to respond in an innovative fashion to current issues in life sciences. Scientific projects are jointly defined with partners.
