On behalf of the Chairman, Mr. Gustavo Larrazábal, and the Board of Directors of the EATiP, we are pleased to invite you to a special presentation event “The Future of European Aquaculture”.
This event will focus on presenting the Vision of the European Aquaculture Technology & Innovation Platform, which has been developed through the widest consultation ever made on European aquaculture. This consultation effort, which was supported by the European FP7 project ‘Aquainnova’, has led to the development and identification of forecasts and needs of the sector in 2030.
These are summarised in the ‘Vision and Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda’ that has been prepared by the EATiP, which will be presented in detail for discussion.
The presentation event will explain the ‘why’s and ‘how’s of these developments, the implications for the European professional and research sectors and the need to integrate these issues with different policies and strategies at the National and European levels.
Experts from the aquaculture profession, research and development, the European Commission and other stakeholder interests will be present to debate and answer the key questions raised by results of these actions.
