EATIP ENGAGEMENT

EATiP is a natural partner in collaborative European research, innovation or support actions, as contributor to the “Multi-actor approach”. It links the project strategy and impact plan to the challenges and research needs identified in the EATiP Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. It also contributes to projects by involving its members and Mirror Platforms in multi-stakeholder workshops, hands-on training courses, stakeholder consultations or alike, and by identifying potential end users of project results. Finally, EATiP contributes in outreach and networking activities.

Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) for the Blue Economy. 

Further to the initial announcement that S3 was being extended to include the Blue Economy, EATiP has been an early and proactive advocate in ensuring that aquaculture stakeholders may benefit through the opportunities afforded by S3 and associated funding mechanisms for innovation transfer. For further information on the S3 principle, please see here.

In collaboration with lead region Hauts de France, EATiP applied and were approved to establish a Thematic Smart Specialisation Platform (TSSP) addressing Circular Smart Aquaculture Specific objectives of the TSSP include improving energy and water efficiency, addressing feed ingredient scarcity, optimising by-product use, and developing capacity building for a skilled workforce.

Currently in the process of establishing and developing the TSSP Platform, with the support of the S3 CoP Secretariat, we invite and encourage all interested Clusters and Regional Authorities, looking to develop aquaculture within regional Smart Specialisation Strategies, to contact secretariat@eatip.eu

Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

EATiP is a member of the Consortium delivering the Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism – a contract awarded through CINEA and DG MARE and listed as an objective of the Strategic Guidelines for a sustainable European aquaculture.

Many EATiP members are engaged in the process, and we have been delighted to be able to recommend EATiP members to provide technical advice and expertise.

Of particular interest for the EATiP community is the AAM Knowledge Base where information if provided on research outputs, projects, policy papers and much more besides. Of note are the Commission Staff Working Documents, giving best practices on a number of priority areas including Funding, Climate Change, Access to Space and Regulation, Environmental Performance and Energy Transition.

We encourage those not familiar with the AAM, to visit the website and to register as an AAM user and for the AAM newsletter and we encourage those engaged in aquaculture project work to remember the AAM knowledge base when publishing your research outputs and deliverables, and to consider uploading your work, articles or reports to this important repository.

To learn more about the AAM, please watch the video

Reports on EATiP / Copernicus events

EATIP has been involved in a range of different activities, many of which target improved governance and direction for RTDI actions in Europe.

Some of these activities are more horizontal and policy-oriented, such as participation as an observer in the SCAR     

Here are the the previous projects EATIP was involved in:

AQUAEXCEL2020 is a research infrastructure project funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme and coordinated by the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), with the aim to further support the sustainable growth of the European aquaculture sector.

EATIP updates on AQUAEXCEL2020

The European Asian aquaculture Technology and innovation Platform (EURASTiP) is a three year research, development and innovation project, funded through the EU Horizon 2020 programme, and developed in response to EU call “reinforcing international cooperation on sustainable aquaculture production with countries from South East Asia”.
EURASTiP will provide a structured basis for multi-stakeholder dialogue in the aquaculture community, within South East Asia and between South East Asia and the EU

EATIP updates on EURASTIP

An FP7 project focusing on the creation of an international framework that will facilitate the development of vision documents and strategic research agendas on the sectoral components of European aquaculture.

ASEM Aquaculture Platform, established in 2003 as an EU-Asia framework for dialogue, networking and continuing coordination for sustainable aquaculture development, targeting key topics such as ‘Disease & Health management’, ‘Biodiversity & Ecological impacts’, ‘Breeding & Domestication’, ‘Education’, ‘Food safety & Legislation’, ‘Food Security’.

AQUAMED aimed at making a real contribution to strengthening the links between the major research organisations and key stakeholders across the whole Mediterranean region by setting up a multi-stakeholder platform.

The Animal Task Force is a European Public-Private Partnership of research organisations and farmer and industry organisations, working together on a sustainable and competitive European livestock production sector by fostering knowledge development and innovation in the whole animal production chain.

Aquatnet was the European Thematic Network in the field of aquaculture, fisheries and aquatic resources management, funded under the European Commission Lifelong Learning Programme

ARRAINA aimed at strengthening the links between the scientific community and the EU feed industry, contributing to increase the productivity and performance of the aquaculture sector at a global level

E-FishNet is focusing in improving fishmonger’s training along Europe and creating a collaboration network. Turkey, Iceland, United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain take part in this project through several Organizations.
Some of the results foreseen for this project are an State of Art Study in relation with the current situation in fishmonger’s training, a Marco Curriculum, and an e-learning platform with e-learning contents.
