Description : The Lifelong Learning department promotes professional integration and social advancement. It enables employees or jobseekers to resume their studies throughout their lives in order to improve their skills or enhance their professional experience through diploma, certificate or qualification courses, as well as through the Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE) or Professional Experience (VAP).

Director : Nabila Bellamine

Teaching and laboratory team

The teaching team is made up of 35% of teacher-researchers from AU and researchers from INRAe to provide the scientific and methodological tools, 40% of teachers from the MFR and agricultural trainers to implement the technical apprenticeships and 25% of professionals to pass on professional skills. The course is supported by science laboratories (mathematics laboratory) and agrosciences laboratories (IMBE's Ecology, Ecotoxicology and Chemistry applied to Agroecology and Restoration team).
