 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Aquainnova establishes an operational framework for dialogue – based on best governance practises - between the aquaculture industry, the research community and policy makers, focusing on exploiting the potential for innovation and technological development in the European aquaculture value chain. It will actively promote the exploitation, dissemination and communication of Community aquaculture RTD research actions and results, looking to improve the manner in which the knowledge generated is efficiently and effectively managed, disseminated and transferred. This will be achieved by using expert groups working on different thematic areas of aquaculture and developing innovative methodologies for gap analysis and problem solving. These will be supported by sectoral benchmarking documents. Draft Vision Documents and Strategic Research Agendas will be the subject of multi-stakeholder consultation in regional workshops. Dissemination materials will include new technical summaries on Community RTD and interactive assessment of the benefits of RTD Projects. Active dissemination actions will include consumer organisations, CSOs and the professional and research communities. Improving knowledge transfer and uptake is a core component, applying effective communication channels, tools and resources for maximum impact. AquaInnova will develop and provide a structured and operational platform that will facilitate networking and consultation, while providing consensus on the associated Vision Documents, Strategic Research Agendas and Action Plans for implementation.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A new research agenda for aquaculture

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Aquaculture in Europe is a large and important industry, but its competitiveness has been declining in recent years due to globalisation. This effect is compounded by changes in EU legislation and incoherent transfer of research knowledge to the commercial sector.

The 'Supporting governance and multi-stakeholder participation in aquaculture research and innovation' (http://www.eatip.eu/default.asp?SHORTCUT=100 (AQUAINNOVA)) project aimed to develop a 2030 vision and a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for sustainable and competitive aquaculture in the EU.

To achieve this, working groups were established for each of eight thematic areas, which comprehensively covered the broad field of sustainable aquaculture. A particular focus was placed on knowledge management, a horizontal theme that impacted all the other themes.

Through stakeholder meetings and workshops, each working group produced a 2030 vision statement and developed a draft SRA. Within these agendas, a number of goals and sub-goals were specified, and a second round of workshops ranked these goals according to their priority.

The final outcome is a unified 2030 vision for European aquaculture, and a documented list of challenges, opportunities and risks in the sector. Guides for improved knowledge management were created as well, and all are supported by an SRA.
