The Master is taught by 33 professors from the Department of Agroforestry Engineering of the ETSIAAB with the collaboration of other professors from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and visiting experts, coordinated by Professor Francisco Ayuga.
The intensification area "Projects and Construction" is taught by ten professors, specialists in the field of project evaluation and environmental impact, and construction (construction of greenhouses, rural infrastructure, reuse of rural buildings and sustainable construction) with extensive experience researcher and professional. Five professors in this area are included in the research group of the UPM "Building Infrastructure and Projects for Rural and Environmental Building" and two others are in the research group of the UPM "Agro-livestock facilities and Environment". The activity of the Grupo EIPIRMA group in the triennium 2015/16/17 includes 8 research projects, 7 doctoral theses and 29 publications in JCR journals. In addition, the group of teachers has extensive professional experience. |
