# About Montpellier SupAgro and AgroTIC training

Montpellier SupAgro is a teaching and research institution that trains 
agronomists. The AgroTIC training is a training carried by Montpellier 
SupAgro. Every year we train fifteen agronomists with dual expertise in 
geomatics. QGIS is a central tool in our training on the one hand to the 
functionality of spatial information management it offers and also because it 
is open and free and can be reused by our future graduates whatever their 
professional context. For 3 years, we organize an event around QGIS discussion 
in which our students can meet professionals who use this software. This event 
also allows them to value the teachings they have followed since they also 
present new features of QGIS before the professionals.
