The Aqua-EduNet European platform brings together the members of Aqua-view network (education) and industry in aquaculture. This will ensure both the sustainability of the industry but also long-term development of education on aquaculture.
Aqua-EduNet aims to initiate developments and undertake activities which contribute to the improvement of professionalism and craftsmanship and by doing so improve the perspective of people working in the branch and contribute to the development of the economic prosperity of the people involved in the business. Partners especially focus on common grounds between the entrepreneurial and educational fields.
