Algae-based innovation for next level combined aquaculture production

Through its involvement in the EU Horizon Europe INNOAQUA project, and in partnership with the Microalgae-Biota Technology and Innovation Research (ALBIC), Universiti Putra Malaysia, Institute of Climate Adaptation and Marine Biotechnology (ICAMB), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), and the European Aquaculture Society (EAS) is pleased to present this event on combined plant and animal aquaculture production technologies.

This short, focussed event will showcase examples of production systems at pilot or near full scale production from Europe and SE Asia and will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A that will discuss concept approaches, pilot successes and upscaling issues. Its principal objective is to share experience with experts on systems, methods, species, approaches and target end-products – paving the way for future cooperation and partnership. It is the first of two events – the second focusing more on algal extracts and their potential applications.

Online TEAMS event, Wednesday, February 11th, 08.30 - 11.30 (CET)
