Policy Research and Innovation

Conclusion of the Jakarta meeting The “Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture” was identified by both EU and ASEAN participants as the major challenge ahead to meet global seafood security needs for future generations, where issues relating to



Animal health,



Ecosystem-based farming approaches,



New sources of feed/food security issues,



New production systems adapted from the EU,



Governance in spatial planning and



under acceptable socio-economic conditions.

Diseases a major challenge



Resistant stocks



Use of vaccines



Understand host immunity, pathogens, environment



Safe & effective use of therapeutic/ prophylactic agents



Rapid diagnostic tools



Selective breeding programmes for quality seeds production

Policy Research and Innovation

Areas of Common interest It was also agreed that in order to address these global challenges, more concerted efforts are needed to reinforce capacity building by



better alignment of capacity building efforts by EU partners



facilitation of the formal establishment of the present ASEAN FEN initiative, and



develop new initiatives for joint course and degree programmes.

HORIZON 2020 - Open to the world

• 1. Projects can include international partners

(ambition: increase international participation)

• 2. Targeted opening
• In some topics, identified in the calls for

proposals, inclusion of international partners is either:

a) encouraged or b) required

• 3. Coordinated calls, e.g.

a) EU-Japan R&D Cooperation in Net Futures b) EU-Brazil R&D Cooperation in Advanced

Cyber Infrastructure

c) Partnering with Brazil on advanced

biofuels

Policy Research and Innovation

Need for more exchanges between ASEAN and the EU with the support of NCPs:

• R&I on sustainable aquaculture intensification
• Capacity building
• Industry (Chambre de Commerce, Technology

Platforms)

• EU Instruments can help with the support of

the SEA-EU Net project
