ETSIAB – UPNA

The Higher Technical School of Agricultural Engineering and Biosciences (ETSIAB) is the heir to a century-old tradition of higher-level research and teaching in Navarre. The ETSIAB trains professionals in agricultural engineering, food innovation, biotechnology, science and data science. Since its creation together with the UPNA and the incorporation of the previous University School of Agricultural Technical Engineering, it has been strengthening and adapting its academic offering to the demands of society.
