The Master is aimed at training students in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology so that they can develop a professional activity in this field, or a research activity leading to a Doctoral Thesis.

Forestry Engineering is a profession that has traditionally worked in multidisciplinary environments in the management and planning of the natural environment. The use and extraction of information from spatial databases has been a traditional task of forestry engineers but the advent of the revolution associated with the so-called "big data" makes it necessary to take a qualitative leap in the training of these professionals. The challenges currently faced by forest management are of great significance due to the magnitude of the problems (climate change, invasive species, biodiversity crisis, etc.) and the growing demand for goods and services by society. At the same time, there is an increasing amount of information, highly relevant for decision-making in forest and environmental management, collected in large databases that require specific training for their management and analysis. For this reason, it is necessary that these professionals have a good integrated knowledge of management systems and methods applied to the forestry world, but at the same time, they have the capacity to work in different fields such as database management, computer programming, data analysis, decision making through operational research techniques, or geographic information systems and remote sensing.

Comprehensive management of an agri-food industry represents a huge competitive advantage as it allows: opening new commercial channels, increasing sales, improving consumer confidence, selling innovative products, avoiding food alerts and crises, minimising impacts, improving production costs, etc.
