AQU@TEACH - an Aquaponics curriculum

On Saturday 28 March the University of Greenwich will be hosting the final event of ‘Aqu@teach’, the first aquaponics curriculum to be developed specifically for university level students.

Combining two technologies - recirculating aquaculture systems and hydroponics - in a closed-loop system, aquaponics offers an opportunity to grow food in an economically and environmentally sustainable way, using low levels of resource input. It could certainly play a key role in the future of food production, but only if there is an appropriately trained workforce.

AQUAEXCEL 2020 - 17th Call for Access NOW OPEN!

On a regular basis, the AQUAEXCEL2020 project invites proposals from European research groups for scientific research that utilises the facilities of any of the participating aquaculture research infrastructures. The AQUAEXCEL2020 project unites major aquaculture experimental facilities with capacity to undertake experimental trials on a selection of commercially important fish aquaculture species and system types. These installations are made available to the research community for Transnational Access (TNA) with the support of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. Transnational Access involves a research group in one country collaborating with one or more AQUAEXCEL2020 Infrastructures that are located in a different country to the applicant, and which offer facilities and expertise not available in their own country.
