Fertiberia Chair of Agri-environmental Studies Awards

The Fertiberia Chair of Agri-environmental Studies Awards to the Best Projects and Theses give recognition, since their creation in 2007, to high quality projects and bacehelor's and master's theses that are produced at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. These should be directly related to the area of fertilisation and fertilisers, how they influence agricultural output, the quality of harvests, and the environment.

Two projects are awarded each year: the subject of one of them must be directly related to fertilisers, fertilisation or their influence on plant production, while the other project must deal with the relationship between agricultural systems and the environment.

The jury takes into account the novelty of the work, its degree of complexity and difficulty, the personal contribution of the student and the scope of the work at a training-professional level, particularly valuing those papers that propose novel solutions or options capable of minimising the environmental impact involved in the use of fertilisers, both from the point of view of fertiliser products and their application.
