Since its inception in 1971, it has been mandated to design and implement agricultural research programs within the framework of Egypt's strategy for economic and social development. The ARC is a semi-autonomous, state-owned research institution governed by a Board of Directors and chaired by the MALR. It embodies 16 services of the Central Administration, 16 research institutes, 8 central laboratories, 10 regional stations, 46 specific research stations, and 23 research administrations throughout Egypt’s governorates and employs more than 9,000 researchers and scientists. ARC conducts mainly applied research to serve the Egyptian Economy, society welfare and prosperity of the Egyptian people. Within the national agricultural strategies ARC assumes the following major functions: Developing appropriate agriculture technology needed to ensure the continuous development of agricultural production; Producing new varieties of various field and horticultural crops as well as new breeds of livestock, which affect agricultural production positively; Planning and implementing research, extension and training programs based on the principle of integrated research and extension services in all aspects of agricultural activities to affect sustainable upgrading of Egyptian agriculture; Optimizing use of agricultural natural resources, reducing production cost, increasing competitiveness of Egyptian agricultural productions by finding practical solutions to agricultural production constraints, protecting environment and achieving sustainability of Egyptian agricultural development; Transfer of new technologies to the farming community through extension services, and monitor their adoption by the end users. ARC has recently oriented its research programs more towards achieving productivity gains in view of the already limited land and water resources. New varieties of shorter-duration have been developed and released; new animal breeds were produced to maximize productivity. Soil amelioration and rationalized use of agro-chemicals is a major focus area of the ARC. Our scientists also participate in product standard-setting to enhance Egypt's competitiveness in the world markets.

It was created in 1991 and hosts around 14,000 students. UJI has been involved in 38 European research actions, which correspond to 28 projects of the 7FP (between 2007 and 2013), and the remaining to the H2020 Program. The Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of UJI’s Higher School of Technology and Experimental Sciences (ESTCE) was founded in 2007. It has 17 senior scientists, 7 postdoctoral researchers, 9 PhD students and 3 technicians. The Department is engaged in teaching and research in a wide range of topics mostly in plant sciences/agriculture.The Department regularly collaborates with other groups at UJI, as well as other universities and research organisms in Spain and abroad, which increases the interdisciplinary nature of the research topics covered. The UJI Research Group on Integrated Pest Management is focused on the study of insect and mite species of agricultural interest and on developing more sustainable and friendly management techniques and programs for the crops where these species occur. A wide range of advanced equipment is available at the Department or in campus (Central Scientific Instrumentation Services). A variety of plant growth facilities including growth chambers, greenhouses, net-houses and experimental fields are available in campus or at nearby facilities of the Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research (IVIA), another public research institute which UJI is associated with.

Within INRA, the “Bees and Environment” research unit develops a wide range of research programs that are targeted to the study of honeybee and wild bee populations, in the context of sustainable farming and food security. The activity of the unit is organised around understanding the factors that are responsible for the worldwide decline in bee populations, and the impact of this decline on biodiversity, and crop production. The 3 main axes of our work are: Biology and health preservation, Environmental toxicology and Pollination and ecology. Multidisciplinary research is conducted and focuses on different levels of understanding, including physiology, behaviour, ecology, pathology and toxicology. The scale of studies range from molecular biology to landscape ecology. The ultimate challenge the unit faces is to understand the biology of bee species in a global and complex environment and to find ways to apply fundamental knowledge at a supra-individual scale. Our projects aim at answering fundamental questions as well as at responding to society demand around socio-economics and agro-environmental challenges.

The Department’s academic staff (Professors and Researches) teach and research a wide range of topics, covering agriculture, forest and natural sciences and agro-food biotechnology, they are supported by technical and administrative staff, and rely on cutting-edge laboratories, equipment and infrastructure (see relevant section). In 2017, the quality of research at DAFNE placed the Department on a top list of 120 Italian Departments of Excellence.
