"My Job in Research" Challenge by REA07/07/2020
European Commission's Research Executive Agency (REA) organized an online "My Job in Research" short video challenge to promote the work of researchers. Annemiek Blasweiler from Wageningen University & Research joined the challenge with her video as a part of the AQUA-FAANG project and her video was selected one of the best to be shared online by REA. In this short video, Annemiek explains her research work within the AQUA-FAANG project. Congratulations Annemiek!

AQUA-FAANG has started!23/07/2019
AQUA-FAANG project has started on May 1, 2019. Its Kick-off Meeting took place on May 28-29, 2019 in Oslo, Norway. There were 23 participants from the partner organisations. Introduction of the project, explanations on the project management WP presentations were presented and internal WP meetings were organised during the 2 day meeting. A specific session was dedicated to Risk management group work where risks where identified and presented. It was a good opportunity to meet with all the other partners and having to learn more about Norwegian salmon production and expected activities and tasks of the project.
