Technologies and Processes for the Environment and Agriculture

Teaching activities

The educational objective of the curriculum will be the training of figures who can operate in the field of research, design and management of processes, solutions and technologies for environmental remediation, the sustainable management of natural resources, the valorisation and recovery of secondary resources, the sustainable production in agriculture and the socio-economic valorization of the agri-food sector..
Teaching activities include the provision of courses and seminars, held by internal lecturers and external experts, also in collaboration with other curricula, on subjects preliminary to research activities and advanced research training.

Research activities

The research activities will be strongly interdisciplinary with reference to one or more of the following topics: agronomy and herbaceous cultivation, agricultural chemistry, tree cultivation, hydraulics, hydrology irrigation and drainage, agricultural economics, general and applied entomology, sanitary-environmental engineering, nutrition and animal nutrition, statistics for experimental and technological research, chemical technologies, structural design, urban planning.
Depending on the topics, the research activities may involve both laboratory and field experiments and activities on full-scale plants and systems. In both cases, a significant modelling component is envisaged.
Research activities are frequently carried out as a part of wide projects between University of Brescia and other national/international Universities, research Institutions, as well as active companies in the sector.
