Within the framework of the PLÁTICAS project ("PLataforma ATlántica interterritorial para un Crecimiento Azul Sostenible"), at CETMAR and the Port of Vigo, we are pleased to invite you to the Transfer Day of the PLÁTICAS Project, which will take place on September 15, 2023, at the Sessions Building of the Port of Vigo from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
The event will be in a hybrid format, both in-person and online (registration is mandatory through the link provided at the end of this message, as well as consulting the tentative program).
The PLATICAS project is funded by the General Secretariat of Fisheries through the call for proposals for projects in the field of Blue Growth in the fishing and aquaculture sector, and it involves seven Knowledge Spaces (https://www.mapa.gob.es/es/pesca/temas/crecimiento_azul/red-nacional-espacios-conocimiento/) on the Spanish Atlantic facade: IH Cantabria – project coordinators – the Universities of Oviedo, Cádiz, and Las Palmas, AZTI, PLOCAN, and, representing Galicia, the Port of Vigo and CETMAR.
Its objective is to optimize the sustainable management of fishing, aquaculture, and shellfish activities, promoting intersectoral and interinstitutional collaboration to find joint solutions to common issues in these sectors. To facilitate open and continuous collaborations, PLÁTICAS has developed an interterritorial platform to support the integration, management, communication, and transfer of knowledge regarding blue growth in the regions of the Spanish Atlantic facade.
During the event on September 15, we will present the main results obtained and additional collaboration initiatives, and we will discuss the most relevant issues affecting fishing, marine aquaculture, and shellfish farming, identifying actions that will help us address their main challenges and opportunities.
We would be delighted if you could join us for this event, and we encourage you to register through the link provided below.
Looking forward to your valuable participation, receive a warm greeting;
PLÁTICAS Team from CETMAR and APV.
