The SAFE–AWARE–INNOAQUA Summer School 2026 continued on 22 June with its second session,“Innovations II – Circular Ingredients, Sludge Valorisation and Integrated Production Systems”. Bringing together participants from across the aquaculture and research communities, the session explored innovative approaches linking aquaculture, aquafeeds, insects, algae and integrated production systems.

At INNOAQUA, stakeholder engagement plays a key role in ensuring that our project developments are aligned with real market and sector needs, consumer expectations, and regulatory challenges.

The INNOAQUA project will take part in the “Protein Transition: GIANT LEAPS Ahead and VALPRO Paths to Follow” Final Conference, taking place on 25 June 2026 at Atelier des Tanneurs in Brussels.

The SAFE–AWARE–INNOAQUA Summer School 2026 kicked off on 15 June with its first session, “Innovations I – From Waste to Value in Aquaculture”. Bringing together participants from across the aquaculture and research communities, the session explored practical examples of how circular bioeconomy approaches can transform waste streams into valuable resources and support more sustainable production systems. 

The INNOAQUA General Assembly was held on 27–28 May 2026 at INESC TEC in Porto, Portugal, bringing together project partners for two days of structured exchange, strategic reflection and collaborative learning. As a key coordination milestone, the General Assembly enabled the consortium to review progress, strengthen cross‑work package alignment and advance the project’s shared vision for sustainable, algae‑enabled aquaculture systems.

INNOAQUA is co-organising the SAFE–AWARE–INNOAQUA Summer School 2026, a joint initiative bringing together three European research projects to share research and insights on circular bioeconomy solutions for sustainable aquaculture in Europe.

Aquaculture is booming across the Asia-Pacific region, and Singapore is once again at its centre. From 2 to 5 June 2026, the World Aquaculture Society returns to Singapore for its flagship annual conference, gathering producers, researchers, and technology providers from around the world under the theme “High Yield Production Through Nutrition, Health, Genetics and Resources.”

On 26 May 2026, the INNOAQUA project successfully hosted its Workshop on Seaweed and Fish Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA), bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders from across the aquaculture and blue biotechnology sectors. The online event was co-organised by project partners A4F – Algae for Future, SEA EIGHT, and INESC TEC, and aimed to foster discussion on innovative pathways towards more sustainable aquaculture systems in Europe.

The INNOAQUA Project invites you to participate in a workshop dedicated to advancing sustainable aquaculture practices across Europe. Co-organised by project partners A4F – Algae for Future, SEA EIGHT, and INESC TEC.

INNOAQUA continues to drive innovation in sustainable aquaculture with significant progress at DEMO Site #2 in Portugal, bringing the project closer to the large-scale validation of integrated, circular production systems.
