NordicRAS to be co-located with Aquaculture Europe 2019

Press release

The European Aquaculture Society and NordicRAS will hold their events in conjunction with each other at the Estrel Hotel and Congress Centre in Berlin in October. The 5th NordicRAS workshop will be held on October 7 and 8, with AE2019 starting on the evening of the 7th. The RAS sessions of AE2019 will start from the 8th to avoid crossover and allow NordicRAS attendees to participate in AE2019.

The underlying idea is to have a strong focus on RAS in a host country where it is a key strategical development objective. For participants, this would allow them to attend both events and hence save time and travel. Those taking part in both events will also have a discounted registration fee.

The aims of the Nordic Network on Recirculating Aquaculture Systems are to co-ordinate and strengthen research and development of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) in Nordic countries. The network welcomes all with an interest in RAS, including interested parties outside the Nordic Countries.

AE2019 takes the theme "Our Future - Growing from Water."  AE2019 covers the full scope and diversity of European aquaculture. The thematic plenary and technical parallel sessions will comprise submitted oral and poster presentations. AE2019 will also feature an international trade exhibition, industry forums, student sessions and activities, satellite workshops and updates on European Union research.
