The addition of a new 57-by-30-metre greenhouse, a sorting facility for the post-harvest separation of intercropped crops, and other agricultural equipment provides the FERM platform with new opportunities to develop research projects and strengthen collaborations with companies and industry stakeholders.

The non-profit organization Amarrage has recently established a partnership with the University Farms to host the En Terre-1-Connue project at the Corroy-le-Grand site. This educational initiative offers a pathway to recovery and personal development for young people facing difficulties.

This day offers an opportunity to appreciate the results achieved and to meet the key contributors, as well as the entire FERM platform team.

RéVIVRE is a cross‑border project designed to address the major climatic and social challenges facing our cities: urban heat islands, water management, and soft mobility. Coordinated by the MiiL – Media Innovation & Intelligibility Lab –, the project combines immersive technologies (XR), environmental data visualization, and participatory co‑design to create concrete tools for decision‑making and urban transformation.

Platforms are often presented as tools for research. But that overlooks the fact that they are also valuable allies for teaching. At OpenHub, two students, as part of their final-year project, designed an automated robotic arm capable of sorting waste.
