AQUA-TNET NEWSLETTERJanuary/February 2012

New exciting phase of Aqua-tnet kick-started in Scotland!
The Dear Aqua-tnet member,
Welcome to the 3rd phase of Aqua-tnet! As you know Aqua-tnet3 officially started last October, but due to administrative reasons there was a slight delay in the actual start. We are pleased to inform you that the 3rd phase of Aqua-tnet kicked-off with the first Steering Committee meeting in Edinburgh on January 16th.
Originally set up in 1996 as a small network of just 20 academic partners in aquaculture, we have now expanded to more than 80 partners, representing a tightly knit multidisciplinary collaboration of higher education institutions, research institutions, industry representatives and other relevant stakeholders with an interest in European education issues in the fields of aquaculture, fisheries and aquatic resources management.
With the education sector highlighted as one of the main drivers of European growth, as set out in Europe 2020, it makes good sense for us to further capitalise on the opportunities afforded by our wide-ranging network devoted to one of the fastest-growing and dynamic sectors in Europe. To this end, the newly funded 3rd phase “Aqua-tnet - Promoting innovation and a European dimension through Lifelong learning in the field of Aquaculture, Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management – Thematic Network” (Aqua-tnet3) officially started on October 2011, under the leadership of John Bostock at Stirling University.
The principal aim of Aqua-tnet3 is to support the progress of the European aquaculture, fisheries and aquatic resources management sector by stimulating and supporting innovation through enhanced lifelong learning opportunities. The majority of you have been part of the consortium in the previous phases and have successfully taken part in forming a European dimension in the aquaculture, fisheries and aquatic resources management sectors. New partners have now joined the consortium, most notably the European Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (EATIP) and representatives of the European and Galician Fisheries Technology Platforms.
This new exciting phase will be an excellent opportunity for us all to build upon the previous work and continue this long running network. The new programme (20011-14) will allow us to help the sectors we cover to further contribute to the creation of a European Higher Education Area. Over the coming months there will be several work package kick-off meetings where you will have the opportunity to meet some familiar faces and hopefully some new ones too.
You can keep updated on Aqua-tnet3 activities in several ways; 1) visit the website info@aquatnet.com or online 3) visit the members’ section and 4) keep reading the Aqua-tnet newsletter! Don’t forget you can submit any relevant information for dissemination in the newsletter to aquatnet@aquatt.ie.
Also for those of you who are new to the network the Aqua-tnet website has a multitude of resources including the ‘Aqua-tnet Education Gate’, calendar of events, various publications, useful links plus additional resources per interest group; students, teachers, researchers and industry.
We would like to thank all of you for your continued support and collaboration which is much appreciated and we look forward to working with you all over the coming three years. This new phase promises to be as exciting and interesting as the previous phases (if not more!).

Aqua-tnet 3 start-up meeting, 16 January 2012, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Aqua-tnet steering group (mainly workpackage leaders) met in Edinburgh on 16th January to help activate the new project. The role, objectives and work plans for each workpackage were reviewed and discussed and decisions taken on priorities and activities for the first year. The structure of the project has been simplified to five main implementation workpackages, a cross-cutting workpackage to focus on stakeholder cooperation and four further workpackages to look after dissemination, exploitation of results, quality assurance and management. Leaders of the implementation workpackages are all focused on producing concrete and useful outputs which really demonstrate the value of European and inter-disciplinary collaboration:- WP1 will develop multimedia case studies for use in Masters level teaching
- WP2 will develop and promote training courses for PhD level students
- WP3 will promote and enable opportunities for student and staff mobility – internationally and between institutions and commercial companies
- WP4 will develop generic skills training materials based on needs assessments
- WP5 will support the network in implementing new educational frameworks, tools and methods
After some discussion, the meeting agreed to set the dates for the first annual event at 27-29th June 2012. This is still to be confirmed once a suitable venue has been found, but please make a note so that you can participate.

Case study in international cooperation
European media channels (TV, newspapers, blogs, social media) do little but report bad news and/or give us depressing stories. Let’s have some good news for a change!
The EAS Rhodes Conference in October 2011, gave Turkur Boder, the Turkish representative of the EAS Student Group, the opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones. He has been a stalwart member, involved in setting it up and serving as group secretary for two years. Turkur is now completing his Ph.D. studies at Akdeniz University in Turkey, working on genetic differences of sea bass and sea bream.
While catching up with some of the young scientists he had met during his first visit to Crete at the AQUATNET Annual Event in 2007 (networking is an important aspect of international conferences), he found out that the Institute of Marine Biology and Genetics (of HCMR) in Crete had acquired equipment which could be of real use in his Ph.D. studies. Doing the required analyses in Crete could cut the time needed to carry out the PCR and genotyping analyses of his five sets of broodstock samples from over a year down to six to eight weeks.
But how could such a visit be organised AND funded? To read the full article by Margaret Eleftheriou click here (Word doc.)

Aquainnova – “The Future of European Shellfish Aquaculture”
The last in the series of regional Aquainnova workshops, “The Future of European Shellfish Aquaculture” was held on 15th – 16th February in Bordeaux. Invited representatives of the Shellfish sector were tasked with providing their input towards development of a Vision for European Aquaculture in 2030 and supporting the resulting Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). These documents will be used to inform the European Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (EATIP) and help it respond to the challenges facing the European Aquaculture industry.Run over 1.5 days the workshop was organised into several sessions, with a strong emphasis on discussion and consensus building on the Vision. Goals and sub-goals of each of the various Thematic Areas were reviewed and priorities for the Shellfish Sector identified.
Several dynamic rounds of open session conversations helped to highlight any outstanding issues facing this sector with the top three prioritised issues being;
- Integration with the environment,
- Environmental sustainability through application of new technologies and knowledge,
-
Ensuring the continued safety of all products.
The Shellfish industry was well represented at the workshop and their participation ensured that some of the unique aspects of this sector, including the positive influence Shellfish activities can have on water quality, were highlighted.
The Vision and SRIA will be finalised at the upcoming Aquainnova meeting in Dublin (20th – 22nd March), where the facilitators and chairs of each Thematic Area will review and integrate the combined results from the regional workshops on Cold Water Marine, Freshwater, Mediterranean and Shellfish Aquaculture. Once the priorities are in place EATIP will design a plan of action or roadmap, to illustrate how to achieve the goals as identified in the Vision document and ensure that any future research leads to real innovation in the field.
