Étudiants, Chercheurs, Institutionnel

Agriculture has to cope with a triple issue, i.e. being competitive, preserving the environment and offering correct living conditions to farmers. Digital technologies may help to face these challenges.

That is why in autumn 2018, #DigitAg, the French “Digital Agricultural Convergence Laboratory” (Montpellier, Toulouse and Rennes) offer 12 PhD fellowships in the following subjects:

  1. Integrating metabolomics data by quantification of the high throughput data. Application to perinatal mortality in pigs.
  2. Distribute durably with digital? The case of fresh agricultural and food products
  3. Leverage Multi-Source Remote Sensing data via machine learning to improve Crop Monitoring Systems:   a Cross-comparison between France and Senegal
  4. Selecting pesticidal plants for animal and plant health in Africa using exploratory conceptual navigation
  5. Applying big data methodologies to improve the chemo metrics local-PLS algorithms
  6. Combining Semantic Web and modelling approaches for organizing phenotyping data collected at different scales of plant organization
  7. Interactive exact optimization for numerical services to agriculture
  8. Data analysis from the connected beehives of beekeepers
  9. Improving innovation processes in digital agriculture
  10. The Innovation System of Digital Agriculture facing the ecological transition
  11. Improving food security systems by linking heterogeneous data - The case of agricultural production in West Africa
  12. Quantification of pest regulation by generalist predators by analysis of image sequence to determine and quantify network of interactions, case of the banana weevil

Students from abroad are very well come to ask for these fellowships!
