'''AgroParisTech''' ({{IPA|fr|aɡʁopaʁitɛk}}; officially ''Institut national des sciences et industries du vivant et de l’environnement'', or Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences)[English naming according to [http://www.agroparistech.fr/IMG/pdf/AgroParisTech_brochure_ENGLISH.pdf English brochure] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081209013409/http://www.agroparistech.fr/IMG/pdf/AgroParisTech_brochure_ENGLISH.pdf |date=2008-12-09 }}] is a French higher education institution, known as a ''[grande école](/source/grande_%C3%A9cole)''. It is a constituent member of the [Paris-Saclay University](/source/Paris-Saclay_University). It was founded on January 1, 2007, by the merger of three life sciences [grandes écoles](/source/grandes_%C3%A9coles) ([INA P-G](/source/Institut_National_Agronomique_Paris-Grignon), [ENGREF](/source/National_School_of_Rural_Engineering%2C_Water_Resources_and_Forestry) and [ENSIA](/source/%C3%89cole_Nationale_Sup%C3%A9rieure_des_Industries_Agricoles_et_Alimentaires)).
AgroParisTech is one of the founding members of the [Université Paris-Saclay](/source/Universit%C3%A9_Paris-Saclay), which will be the largest European multidisciplinary campus. AgroParisTech will consequently be moving to the [Paris-Saclay](/source/Paris-Saclay) [business](/source/business_cluster) and [research-intensive](/source/research-intensive_cluster) cluster in 2021.
AgroParisTech is a part of the [Paris-Saclay University](/source/Paris-Saclay_University) and a member of the [Paris Institute of Technology](/source/Paris_Institute_of_Technology) (ParisTech). The latter is a consortium of ten graduate institutes of science and engineering. AgroParisTech is also part of 'The Life and Environmental Science and Technology Hub' of the [Paris](/source/Paris) region, together with [INRAE](/source/Institut_National_de_Recherche_pour_l'Agriculture%2C_l'Alimentation_et_l'Environnement), [Cemagref](/source/Cemagref), [AFSSA](/source/AFSSA), [École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort](/source/%C3%89cole_nationale_v%C3%A9t%C3%A9rinaire_d'Alfort) and the [Versailles National School of Landscape architecture](/source/Versailles_National_School_of_Landscape_architecture).
== History==
AgroParisTech is the merger of three graduate institutes of science and engineering located around [Paris](/source/Paris):
* ''[Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon](/source/Institut_National_Agronomique_Paris-Grignon)'' (INA P-G), founded in 1826
* [''École nationale du génie rural, des eaux et des forêts''](/source/National_School_of_Rural_Engineering%2C_Water_Resources_and_Forestry) (ENGREF), founded in 1964
* ''[École Nationale Supérieure des Industries Agricoles et Alimentaires](/source/%C3%89cole_Nationale_Sup%C3%A9rieure_des_Industries_Agricoles_et_Alimentaires)'' (ENSIA), founded in 1893.
The public higher education system in France includes universities and other institutions called the [grande école](/source/grande_%C3%A9cole). The grandes écoles are the best rated pathways for higher education in Engineering and Management. The vast majority of the chief executives in major French companies and of top managers in the French Administration are graduates from the grandes écoles. The features are:
* A very selective admission process through which students are either admitted by a nationwide entrance exam (notably after two or three years of [prépas](/source/Classe_pr%C3%A9paratoire_aux_grandes_%C3%A9coles)) or by the virtue of excellent academic records
* 5 years (Master’s degrees) to 8 years (PhD and post-Master’s degrees) of higher education
* The degree course at the grandes écoles includes compulsory internships in laboratories and companies, in France or abroad
* The prestige of the grandes écoles and contacts with major companies provide an easy access to the job market
The university includes a museum, which has objects on loan from institutions in [Wallis and Futuna](/source/Wallis_and_Futuna), such as [Uvea Museum Association](/source/Uvea_Museum_Association), including a coca cola bottle dating to 1942.[{{Cite web |last=Paris |first=Guillaume |title=Un partenariat culturel avec Wallis et Futuna - AgroParisTech |url=http://www2.agroparistech.fr/+Un-partenariat-culturel-avec+.html |access-date=2022-04-08 |website=www2.agroparistech.fr |language=fr |archive-date=2014-07-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140713080358/http://www.agroparistech.fr/%20Un-partenariat-culturel-avec%20.html |url-status=dead }}]
