Presentation
The LP "Entomologie appliquée, innovante et durable" (Applied, Innovative and Sustainable Entomology), entom'AID, aims to train senior technicians, study managers and assistant engineers specialized in entomological expertise for the management and preservation of natural and anthropized environments.
It focuses on new alternative solutions to support the agroecological transition and design new production systems.
It is involved in various fields of action in response to current issues of biodiversity monitoring and conservation, innovative crop and forest protection methods, vector and invasive insect management, insect production for food and bioconversion.
Work-study apprenticeship.
