The main objective of the GEOMAG project is to help better organize and optimize the management of the agricultural sector and territory and the Environment in Tunisia through a better use of Geomatics. The project addresses the following priorities : Environment, Engineering and Related Techniques, ICT, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
At a professional level, it aims to raise awareness and mobilize managers in the agriculture and environment sectors regarding quality, standard and good governance issues of geographical data, underlying competitiveness and efficiency in resource management, and to provide the professionals involved with an appropriate vocational training (training-action). Also, the objective is to create a pool of expertise and experience sharing.
At the academic level, this project aims, through pedagogical engineering, to design modules in Geomatics adapted to the management of agriculture, peculiar agricultural areas and environment at the level of initial training for students of different levels (Bachelor, Master, Engineering Cycle and PhD). E-learning modules will also be created.
AgroParisTech is copilot of the Work Package 3 with the National Agronomic Institute of Tunisa (INAT) : pedagogical engineering, design of modules in initial and continuing training
AgroParisTech is also contributing to :
WP3 : Pedagogical engineering, design of modules in initial and continuing education training
WP4 : Experimentation / Implementation of modules by partners
WP5 : Engineering and production in e-learning
