University - Research - Farm Cooperation to Identify the Halyomorpha Halys Invasion in Orchards

Nowadays, multidisciplinary research is found everywhere, especially due to the accelerated development of computer science and information and communication technology in all economic and social fields. In many universities, including the POLITEHNICA University in Bucharest, research as a subject is considered multidisciplinary through case studies and concrete applications. The paper presents a multidisciplinary project implemented under ERA-NET COFOUND, ICT-AGRI-FOOD 2019 Joint Call. This project implies multiple collaborations inside and between different groups: disciplines (computer science-image processing-artificial intelligence-robotics-entomology-agriculture), domains (universities-research-farms), countries, and teams (teachers-researchers-students-farmers). The resulting impact of this collaboration is also multiple: educational, economic, and social. From an educational point of view, the results consisted of course chapters, themes for undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees, and papers in important international conferences or journals made by teams of students, researchers, and professors.
