COFASP ERA-NET 2013-2017 Co operation in Fi sheries, A quaculture and S eafood P rocessing Fisheries Aquaculture Seafood Processing The objectives of COFASP was to strengthen cooperation and synergies between major European funding agencies that support research on sustainable exploitation of marine renewable resources. Complement JPI Oceans SRIA #9: Food Security and Safety Driving Innovation in a Changing World

Activities Launching 3 joint call for proposals • Implementing joint activities related to • dissemination and up-take of research results Mapping of national research priorities • Joint foresight activities • Capacity building • Focus on mobility and training activities • Creating a database of funded national projects • Mapping of existing infrastructures • Developing a strategic research (and • innovation) agenda
4 Case Studies Seafood processing challenges – 23-24 April 2015 (RANNIS) Regional similarities and differences in aquaculture – 12-14 May 2015, 16-18 June 2015 (RCN) Regionally-Integrated and Spatially-Explicit Fisheries and Ecosystem Management – 23-25 June 2015 (IFREMER) Coordination of EMFF implementation – 24-25 September 2015 (MMM)
Foresight - with external stakeholders Aquaculture Themes Market demand • Optimal use of the seas • Organic aquaculture • Value of use of the seas • Technology development • Low impact products • Species enhancement • Sustainable use strategies • Seafood Processing Fisheries Towards more flexible • Monitoring and Management • + The Challenges 2050 production units Adaptation strategies • Foresight Revisited Maximise processing efficiency • Data use • New products and new • Recreational Fisheries • production technologies Lead partner: EFARO
Project Geodatabase >2,500 national funded projects • Publicly accessible • Feature a geographical query • function www.projectsdatabase.cofasp.eu Lead partner: CNR
Shared Research Infrastructures Mapping of: fisheries research vessels • Aquaculture research facilities • Seafood processing research and • innovation facilities Operators of these facilities in Europe were • interviewed on different forms of collaboration such as: Shared use, new needs, optimisation of new investments, pooling skills for operation & maintenance Lead partner: IFREMER
Human Capacity Building - Training needs and mobility Workshops in Bilbao, Spain, Kiel, Germany (Lead partners: CNR, ICES, AZTI) Toward new solutions – to promote new • solutions for mobility New Tools and Techniques for capacity • building/lifelong learning Mapping the training and mobility needs and identification of gaps in fisheries, aquaculture and seafood processing.
Engagements beyond COFASP SCAR-FISH • SCAR Foresight • US/Canada Cooperation • Brazil Cooperation • ASEAN/China Cooperation • Dialogue with other networks, e.g.: PLATFORM (network of bioeconomy ERA-NETs) • JPI Oceans (+ member of COFASP advisory board) • BONUS (+ member of COFASP advisory board) • ERA-MBT (joint call) •
Three Joint Calls Calls in 2104, 2015 and 2016 • Commitments of €17.3 mio • Total of 16 funded projects • 13 countries including Canada • Last call was in collaboration with ERA-MBT •
CSA ended - COFASP network continue: Partner Update - conference calls Wish to keep connected through • Partner Update calls Wish to follow-up on funded projects • Wish to work closer with JPI Oceans • Tackling societal challenges means • long-term investment in P2P´s Partner Update on ⇒ many partners wish to continue a regular basis working together in the new COFUND ERA-NET
Looking beyond COFASP the ERA-NET Final Conference discussed: Q: Who should take the responsibility to implement the main COFASP findings and activities and take them further? A: New P2P – COFUND ERA-NET • Policy makers both regional, national and super-national • International platforms such as SCARFish, EFARO, JPI Oceans, • Marine Board EU Technology Platforms (e.g., EATIP, EFTP, GSSI) • Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) • FAO-GFCM in the Mediterranean and Black sea • Clusters/districts for implementation at local level •
