Shared Research Infrastructures
Mapping of:
- fisheries research vessels
- Aquaculture research facilities
- Seafood processing research and
innovation facilities
- Operators of these facilities in Europe were
interviewed on different forms of collaboration such as: Shared use, new needs, optimisation of new investments, pooling skills for
- peration & maintenance
Lead partner: IFREMER
Human Capacity Building
- Training needs and mobility
Workshops in Bilbao, Spain, Kiel, Germany (Lead partners: CNR, ICES, AZTI)
- Toward new solutions – to promote new
solutions for mobility
- New Tools and Techniques for capacity
building/lifelong learning Mapping the training and mobility needs and identification of gaps in fisheries, aquaculture and seafood processing.
Engagements beyond COFASP
- SCAR-FISH
- SCAR Foresight
- US/Canada Cooperation
- Brazil Cooperation
- ASEAN/China Cooperation
Dialogue with other networks, e.g.:
- PLATFORM (network of bioeconomy ERA-NETs)
- JPI Oceans (+ member of COFASP advisory board)
- BONUS (+ member of COFASP advisory board)
- ERA-MBT (joint call)
Three Joint Calls
- Calls in 2104, 2015 and 2016
- Commitments of €17.3 mio
- Total of 16 funded projects
- 13 countries including Canada
- Last call was in collaboration with ERA-MBT
CSA ended - COFASP network continue: Partner Update - conference calls
- Wish to keep connected through
Partner Update calls
- Wish to follow-up on funded projects
- Wish to work closer with JPI Oceans
- Tackling societal challenges means
long-term investment in P2P´s ⇒ many partners wish to continue working together in the new COFUND ERA-NET
Partner Update on a regular basis
Looking beyond COFASP the ERA-NET
Final Conference discussed: Q: Who should take the responsibility to implement the main COFASP findings and activities and take them further? A:
- New P2P – COFUND ERA-NET
- Policy makers both regional, national and super-national
- International
platforms such as SCARFish, EFARO, JPI Oceans, Marine Board
- EU Technology Platforms (e.g., EATIP, EFTP, GSSI)
- Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO)
- FAO-GFCM in the Mediterranean and Black sea
- Clusters/districts for implementation at local level
