Researchers

Aqua-tnet has a dedicated Work Package for Research, which is coordinated and monitored by Dr. Zsigmond Jeney from the Hungarian Research Institute for Fisheries, Aquaculture and Irrigation (HAKI), with support from Éva Kerepeczki and Ardó László.

 

NEW (March 2011):  Researchers give your opinion on your needs and challenges!

In order to fully understand the needs and challenges for Research Institutes, our group has designed this survey to carry out a sector wide analysis. The data will be analysed and a report will be produced identifying current practice with regards to training, mobility, lifelong learning and CPD (Career Progression and Development). Conclusions and recommendations on how interaction can be improved, in particular with AQUA-TNET (ww.aquatnet.com) will be disseminated across the network to identify gaps in training provision and improve the skills base. Your answers to our questions will be of great value in evaluating and improving the provision of generic and specific skills training in the aquaculture, fisheries, marine science and management sectors.

WP Research Information

The aim is to increase the amount of communication channels between research institutes and learning providers in order to ensure constant transfer of latest knowledge. This WP continues the work in developing a symbiotic relationship between Educators and Research Institutes ensuring course design (including placements, exchanges etc.) and content is fit for purpose and relevant to current and future Research requirements. This work is crucial in ensuring knowledge transfer from research to training providers. 

Main Objectives:

  1. Carry out a needs analysis of European research institutes in order to identify effective mechanisms for cooperation with the education sector
  2. To increase representation from research institutes working in the broader field of aquatic sciences (e.g. increase fisheries and freshwater hydrobiology institutes)
  3. Invite the state and private research institutes to become more involved in student exchange (student thesis work at MSc and PhD level, short-term student placements) as well as participation in curriculum development and evaluation
  4. Identify interest in implementing “lifelong learning” programmes in Research Institutes
  5. Provide specialist teaching within existing courses (visiting lecturers from Research Institutes)
  6. To help the network facilitate the exchange of research knowledge so that programmes can be fully up to date
  7. To identify mechanisms whereby Universities can assist in CPD (Career Progression and Development)  with the aim of helping  Research institutes to up skill their current staff
