1 Aquaculture research in FP7 Jacques Fuchs European Commission Directorate-General Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

2 European Aquaculture Research Self sustainable industry: cater for own R&D needs helped by national programmes and community initiatives like SMEs Clear European dimension issues: health, environmental interactions, safety and product quality Need for better co-ordination ordination and integration of national aquaculture research efforts, including international cooperation

3 Framework Programme Cooperation Collaborative research Ideas Frontier Research People Human Potential Capacities Research Capacity + JRC JRC (non-nuclear) JRC JRC (nuclear) Euratom

4 Cooperation Collaborative research 9 Themes 1. Health M 2. Food, agriculture, fisheries and biotechnology Information and communication technologies Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies Energy Environment (including climate change) Transport (including aeronautics) Socio-economic sciences and the humanities Security and space 2.858

5 Food, agriculture and biotechnology: Objectives Build a European Knowledge-Based Bio- Economy (KBBE) Respond to social and economic challenges: High quality food and sustainable food production Food-related disorders (cardiovascular, obesity ) Infectious animal diseases and zoonoses Sustainable agriculture/fishery and climate change Clean biomaterials from renewable bio-resources Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in research Support CAP, CFP & International Cooperation Respond quickly to emerging research needs

6 2. 2. Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology Sustainable production and and management of of biological resources from from land, land, forest, forest, and and aquatic environments Fork Fork to to farm : farm : Food, Food, health health and and well well being being Life Life sciences and and biotechnology for for sustainable non-food products and and processes

8 Aquaculture research areas 1st call: Overcoming Capture based aquaculture Interaction of fisheries and aquaculture of bluefin tuna Essential Biological Function (call 2A) Consolidate alliances with Third Countries (SICA project)

9 KBBE : Consolidate alliances with third countries in the field of aquaculture Objective: To set up a network of aquaculture research with third countries, with the aim to promote coordination of research and facilitate the emergence of joint research programmes in the concerned regions. Funding scheme: Coordination and support action aiming at coordinating research activities Additional information: SICA - Minimum Number of participants : 3 from different MS or AC and 3 from different ICPC. Expected impact: Ensure a sustainable development of aquaculture in the concerned regions while increasing links with EU partners.

10 Aquaculture research areas Future potential topics: Ecosystem approach to aquaculture: Reduce the impact on the environment Promote less intensive systems Coastal zone management, site planning Aquaculture Health (preventive measures) Microbial control in aquaculture Shellfish culture Other generic topics: Genomics, Health (animals include fish!) Welfare, Feeds, Breeding and other well covered areas in FP 6 not likely to be covered in first calls. New species/new technologies: SMEs measures! International Cooperation (SICA)

11 SMEs in FP7 Open to all domains of science and technology billion for SME specific actions (significant increase) Assist SMEs/SMEs associations to outsource research activities

12 Capacities: SME specific actions Research for SMEs: SME- Participants Outsourcing of Research Results, IPR RTD- Performers Other enterprises, End users

13 Timetable Deadline 1st call: 2 May 2007 Call 2 A: 8 May 2007 Deadline 2A (1st stage): 11 September 2007 Deadline 2A (2 nd stage): 31 January 2008 Next call: June 2008?
