The SUBMARINER Network is establishing a pan-Baltic Aquaculture Working Group, focused on fish aquaculture such as RAS, but also including IMTA and aquaponics, with input from our macroalgae and mussel working groups.
Together the Working Group will continue to connect aquaculture practitioners, technology providers as well as other R&D partners through a set of dedicated activities.
Activities
a one-stop-shop for relevant information on sustainable aquaculture; offered services (incl. accessible demonstration plants) by its members
study visits to aquaculture sites inside and outside the BSR on a demand-driven basis
matchmaking events for aquaculture practitioners to find the right Baltic Sea Region partners to complete product development value chains
connection to R&D, regional development actors as well as industry innovators
cross-sectoral interlinkage to actors from other blue bioeconomy thematic fields, e.g. blue biotechnology, mussel farming, algae, multi-uses of sea, beach cast, marine litter etc.
summer schools, dedicated workshops and training courses on tailored topics on a demand-driven basis
access to the InnoAquaTech Decision Support Tool, which addresses technological, environmental and economical dimensions of aquaculture facilities.
identification of funding and investment opportunities and dedicated partner collaboration in proposal development
consulting services on offer through the SUBMARINER members on a demand-driven basis; e.g. assessment of business potential, technical/scientific support, product development, legal advice and financing.
