About

The Agri-Food Technology and Biotechnology programme of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia was born of the UPC’s earlier programme in Agri-Food Biotechnology and Sustainability.

Overview

About the Programme

The Agri-Food Technology and Biotechnology programme of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia arose as the result of the academic collaboration between the Barcelona School of Agricultural Engineering (ESAB) and the UPC that aimed to delve into studies and research in the agri-food field.
