During June 2026, the SAFE–AWARE–INNOAQUA Summer School brought together researchers, students, industry representatives and innovation stakeholders to explore how circular bioeconomy approaches can help shape the future of sustainable aquaculture. Organised as a joint initiative between the three Horizon Europe projects SAFE, AWARE and INNOAQUA, the online programme created a space for collaboration and knowledge exchange, bringing together expertise from across research, industry and policy to explore pathways towards more resource-efficient aquaculture systems.
Following the success of the first webinar on combined species production systems in Europe and Southeast Asia, INNOAQUA and the European Aquaculture Society (EAS) invite researchers, producers and industry stakeholders to join a second webinar exploring the role of algae in the future of sustainable aquaculture.
What role will algae play in the future of sustainable aquaculture? Researchers, innovators and industry professionals will come together in Bergen, Norway, on 14–15 October 2026 to explore exactly that question at the Nordic Algae Symposium 2026, co-organised by NORCE Research, INNOAQUA and ALGAESOL.
