Objectives
The Objectives include:
- Develop a Gamification Application for cages and recirculating aquaculture system technologies and 5 fish species.
- Develop 5 common training programs for aquaculture (cage farming, hatcheries, RAS), the post-harvesting value chain and valorisation of processing by-products.
- Attract competent Mentors with hands-on experience in the selected sectors.

About
BlueAquaEdu will enhance digital, green, soft, transversal, inter-/multi-disciplinary, managerial, entrepreneurial and project management skills of the next generation Aquaculture graduates. It will fill in the gaps of lack of structured, continued collaboration between industry and educational/ VET institutions and lack of “skills ecosystems” at sea basin level bringing together education, industry and public authorities.
