On April 2, 2025, INDICATIC AIP held a meeting at the Technological University of Panama with Professor Congduc Pham, researcher at the University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour in France, to exchange ideas on environmental monitoring systems applied to digital agriculture. The meeting took place within the framework of the common interest in learning about experiences in accessible, sustainable technologies adapted to rural areas. scientific collaboration in digital agriculture
During the session, Dr. Pham presented “Our Activities in IoT Sensing Systems”.”, shared learnings from various international pilots and the use of low-cost sensors, open designs and cloud solutions to support agriculture in regions with limited connectivity.
The meeting was led by Dr. Philippe Aniorté, Director of INDICATIC, together with Dr. Agustín Guerra, Dr. José Robles and Dr. Milagros Jaén.
José Cornó and Didia Díaz Vargas, project manager of the institution. Dr. Héctor Póveda, professor and department head at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, was a special guest. scientific collaboration in digital agriculture
INDICATIC shared local experiences in the use of highly complex sensors in tropical contexts, providing valuable inputs to the technical dialogue. The conversation allowed the identification of topics of mutual interest that, in the future, could lead to more structured initiatives if the appropriate conditions are met. scientific collaboration indigital agriculture
In addition, this meeting was highlighted as part of the activities of the European project AgriFutur, focused on technological solutions for resilient agriculture. The April 2 meeting has been officially positioned on the project site as part of the collaborative work on sensors and agroecological innovation. This reinforces INDICATIC's role as a regional stakeholder committed to the application of emerging technologies in rural and tropical contexts.

This exchange continues the line of rapprochements initiated during the Franco-Panamanian Scientific Conference.
The event was organized by the French Embassy, next to the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Agricultural Development, The event will be held on March 31, 2025, at the City of Knowledge. During the event, ties between researchers from both regions were strengthened. INDICATIC, as part of the ecosystem SENACYT, reaffirms its commitment to applied research and the development of technological solutions adapted to the realities of the country.
