AQUAEXCEL organised 4 new pioneering technical Training Courses that focused on different aspects of aquaculture experimentation. These Training Courses are the only of their kind putting emerging aquaculture infrastructure centres of excellence at the forefront.
This was a unique opportunity for researchers and technicians in the field of aquaculture as course attendance was free, thanks to EC FP7 funding. Participants were expected to pay their own travel, subsistence and accommodation.
