The Startup meeting, held one month earlier than scheduled, got off to a flying start with all partners present and all PESCALEX 1 materials pre-circulated. Details of the meeting will be posted on the PESCALEX website.

The aim of the Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Technology(TOI) project is  to transfer the PESCALEX materials to Turkey, Hungary and also to Galicia in Spain. This will entail the translation of all PESCALEX materials into these languages in order to transfer the fish health/diseases content(based on species farmed in partner countries, to new users. It is envisaged that a new Diagnostic Tool will be created to facilitate this process. This diagnostic Tool could prove most useful to AQUATNET members, when it is ready.

The most important linguistic component will be to change the focus of the project, from using Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology, to a more suitable and innovative (VOLL) language learning approach, based on tutor-led & ODL methods. All of these elements will be found in the revamped PESCALEX website, in a multi-lingual online environment devoted to fish health management at the VET level.
