Young Professionals Network YPN

The EurAgEng Young Professionals Network (YPN) is a newly established branch of EurAgEng that aims to build a network of young professionals (YPs) from agricultural and biological engineering from academia and industry. Thus bridging the gap between the two. YPN will organize events, seminars, and workshops that will help and support young professionals within our field. The YPN aims to work across five themes:

- Animal and aquaculture

- Plant production, forestry, and environmental systems

- Machinery, sensors, and robotics

- Modelling and data science

- Processing and consumer marketing
