European Aquaculture Society
Dubrovnik, Croatia

One of the factors that may contribute to the lack of positive growth in the aquaculture sector, is the lack of cooperation between operators in the sector. This may be regarding production (breeding programmes, feed resources, benchmarking technical performance…), promotion and market intelligence or training and knowledge management, including open access publications. 

Turning policy into growth can be achieved through diminishing competitive forces through common actions using regional cooperation, task forces, public/private partnerships and other initiatives that help to reduce conflicts.

The Aquaculture Europe events are all about communication with the sector. AE2017 will feature a special international trade exhibition, where Croatian and international companies will present their latest products and services. Both Standard and Corner booths will be available and each booth is 6m2 (2x3m) and features walls, carpet, two chairs and one table, spotlights, one power outlet, fascia identification sign and two free passes for the conference. Since 2014, EAS has teamed up with the European Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (EATiP) to organise a special one-day event of panel discussions focussing on relevant and timely issues for the sector. The EAS thematic groups will also organise special sessions and/or workshops within AE2017. The AE event is a focal point for meetings of European associations, satellite workshops of EU projects and other events. We can provide options for your meeting. Other industry panels will take place around the trade exhibition, and technical tours will be organised.

Aquaculture Europe 2017 will be held 17-20 October in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Please see the event website for registration and conference details.
