Industry - INTERESTING LINKS

http://aquamedia.org/home 

A focus on Aquaculture. Aquamedia's purpose is to tell the story of aquaculture in an open and transparent way to all those who are interested in what it does. Throughout Europe aquaculture is, quite properly, highly regulated by both national and European legislation. Furthermore, fish farmers also want the consumers of their fish to understand what they do, how they do it and to share the news, development and, in some cases, the problems, that exist.

VALLA (Validation of all lifelong learning in Aquaculture) is a 2 years European project aiming to demonstrate - using the aquaculture as a pilot - how to validate and recognize short-term sectoral training (including non-formal learning). VALLA will provide an occupational map for the sector using a competence-based approach.
