EATiP Aquaculture Communication & Dissemination Services

EATiP makes available two communication & dissemination services for promoting research & innovation in European aquaculture and in support of the EU Mission Ocean ambitions for a circular and zero carbon aquaculture production.
Our "EATiP Forum" series presents presentations on a thematic basis, considering both a policy context and current research activities being undertaken to address sectoral challenges.
Our "On the Horizon" project dissemination service presents specific project outputs from Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe funded projects that have a practical application & impact on the aquaculture value chain.
Through outreach to the EATiP membership, network of followers and our Mirror Platform network (currently comprising 15 national and regional clusters and giving an organisational reach of +/- 800 members) we seek to promote outputs from EU funded research that allow for innovation and knowledge transfer to assist the aquaculture sector in the further transition to low impact, circular & net zero carbon production.
The EATiP network encompasses freshwater, marine water, exposed and offshore aquaculture and recirculation technologies. The network extends across finfish, shellfish and algae producers and the associated value chain. Our multi-stakeholder membership contains representatives of industry, research, academia, NGOs and both civil society groups and other associations. We aim to promote strategic research and innovation priorities for the sustainable development of European Aquaculture, including through capacity building, innovation transfer and knowledge exchange. Priority areas include the environment, food security, aquatic animal health and welfare, socio economics & governance, feed, the biological life cycle, technology and systems and data.
Thematic areas considered therefore range across all sectors and species and all production methodologies and water bodies. Thematic considerations include marine spatial planning, marine multi use and co-existence, and will include engagement in Mission Lighthouse projects linked to the Baltic Sea Basin, but with reference to other Mission Lighthouses.
We welcome all stakeholders to engage with the EATiP platform to share project outputs and engage in knowledge and innovation transfer.
EATiP is registered as an ASBL in Belgium, however our membership and reach extends across all EU member states and both associated and third countries. Our actions are undertaken in Belgium but extend to any stakeholders across Europe who chose to access them. The service is envisaged to be open ended, but is reviewed periodically to ensure balance in subject areas considered and those projects included.
