The European Society of Agricultural Engineers pursues the following goal of international utility:
- Scientists and engineers working multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary in the field of agricultural and biosystems engineering in Europe, applying to biological materials (food, feed and biomass), organisms (plant animals, microorganisms), agricultural and food systems and the environment;
- An agricultural sector with the necessary skills and access to scientific and technical information and equipment to create the environment and production objectives of the future;
- Academic and industrial researchers who make the best use of the joint scientific and technical potential, in the service of the competence and performance of the professions within agricultural and biosystem technology but also of the entire agricultural sector.
- Increasing the opportunities for the advancement of technical sciences, education and practice in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, recreation and landscape, aquaculture and the processing of fresh food.
- The optimal exchange and promotion of scientific and technical performance and of educational programmes adapted to the needs of the sector;
- Promoting a progressive attitude on the role of agricultural and biosystems engineers in the relevant industries, as well as in related social and economic sectors;
- Encourage communication and multinational cooperation between agricultural engineers engaged in production, trade, research, education and information;
- To develop mutual understanding and cooperation relationships between participating national associations and individual members in different countries;
- Encourage individual members to develop and exchange their professional knowledge and skills;
- To gain professional recognition for engineers in agriculture, rural and related industries;
- To help affiliated associations and affiliated organisations promote their professional activities.
