After several years of work and a great human and economic investment, the celebration of the European Aquaculture Conference AE2025VAL is approaching, which will take place next September. To get here has been essential, in addition to the work done from the EAS and IATS-CSIC, the participation and support of APROMAR, the Generalitat Valenciana, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge of Spain, with the support as members of the local committee of the PTEPA, the SEA, misPeces and several universities (UA, UPV, UV, UCV) participating in the Marine Science Program ThinkInAzul of the Valencian Community).
The conference will bring together central figures from industry, academia, administration and politics, who will meet in Valencia to discuss and exchange ideas, create connections, foster synergies and explore cutting-edge technologies that promote sustainable aquaculture. Therefore, it is an ideal framework for academic and professional enrichment of very different profiles: from students and people linked to research, to companies, entrepreneurs and policy makers.
