Center for Agricultural Experimentation (CAE)
Applied research, agricultural experimentation and demonstration carried out through R&D&I projects and collaborative agreements with other institutions and companies, with the aim of supporting the community and enhancing the education and training of students and academic staff.
Fruit and Vegetable Center
The Centre conducts both fundamental and applied research, as well as agricultural and environmental experimental development, through R&D&I projects and collaborative agreements with institutions and companies. Its activities support the community while contributing to the education and training of students and academic staff. The Centre also provides facilities and supervision for student projects and internships in Professional Higher Technical Courses (CTeSP), Bachelor's and Master's pro...
Information Systems and Interactivity Laboratory (LabSI2)
The mission of the Information Systems and Interactivity Laboratory (LabSI2) is to contribute, through the use of new information and communication technologies, to the competitiveness of companies and the improvement of the quality of life of all people without exception. With a view to achieving its mission, LabSI2 is committed to developing innovative technology-based infrastructures, products, and services that can contribute ...
Sensory Analysis Laboratory (LAS)
The Sensory Analysis Laboratory of CCTAA/IPBeja is dedicated to the sensory evaluation of food products, supporting quality assessment, new product development, and decision-making based on consumer perception. It carries out teaching, applied research, and service provision activities for the community and the agri-food industry. Its research areas include sensory analysis of food products, consumer acceptance and preference studies, and support for research and innovation projects in the agri-food sector.
Seed and Plant-Based Raw Materials Analysis Laboratory (LabSEM)
The laboratory conducts analyses and testing of seeds, quality assessment and quality control of cereals, and analytical testing of olives and olive pomace. It performs analyses and tests in support of the certification and recertification of autumn–winter cereal seed lots. The laboratory actively collaborates in and contributes to R&D&I activities, while also supporting teaching, education and training for students and academic staff.
Experimental Food Processing Unit (UFPU)
Practical classes are carried out in the pilot plant as a complement to classroom-based teaching. In addition, practical work is developed within the framework of final projects for CTeSP, Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. The pilot plant also supports practical product development trials in collaboration with industry partners, as well as activities carried out under externally funded research projects. Temperature and humidity data loggers are available for process monitoring and experimental work.
Animal Nutrition Laboratory
The laboratory supports R&D&I projects carried out by academic staff of the Department of Biosciences, research activities undertaken by Master's and PhD students, and teaching activities within the Agronomy degree programmes. In addition, it provides specialised analytical and technical services to external organisations and the wider community.
Microbiology Laboratory
Located at the School of Agriculture (ESA-IPBeja), the microbiology facilities are involved in teaching, practical research, and community support services. Focusing on applied microbiology, these laboratories develop methodologies for monitoring the quality of water, food, soil, and work environments, food safety, and fermentation biotechnology. Supporting courses such as Food Technology, Environmental Engineering, Bioanalytical Technologies, and Agronomy, this infrastructure complements ac...
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Teaching Laboratory
The laboratory is primarily devoted to teaching and training activities in the field of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Its main objective is to provide students with a strong scientific foundation in these areas, enabling them to apply acquired knowledge to specialised disciplines and professional practice in Agricultural Sciences. In addition to its educational role, the laboratory also supports research activities conducted within the Irrigation Technologies Laboratory
