The meeting will allow participants to draw inspiration from other people's research and share their research findings – it will be an excellent opportunity to be updated on developments in aquaculture research in Sweden.
Target group: Researchers affiliated at a Swedish university/research institute already working within aquaculture and researchers who work in related research areas but are interested in aquaculture.
Date and time: 21 Nov 2024, 9:00-16:00 (with joint dinner 20 Nov 19:00 (optional)).
Location: Vinden, floor 8 in Natrium, Medicinaregatan 7 B, Göteborg.
Registration: the last day of registration has expired.
Organisers: Nationellt Kompetenscentrum for Vattenbruk (NKfV) together with Swemarc and SLU Aquaculture.
