European Aquaculture Society (EAS) has annually organized a congress in which industry, scientists and policy makers meet face-to-face. In 2020, the congress was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and organized in April 2021 as an on-line meeting with pre-recorded videos.

AquaIMPACTFutureEUAquaNewTechAqua and iFishIENCi projects are funded from the Horizon 2020 Innovation Action call Sustainable European Aquaculture 4.0: Nutrition and Breeding Innovations. These projects complement each other to develop more sustainable aquaculture in EU. The four projects are also communicating and disseminating the project outcomes together.

The four projects were present in the Aquaculture Europe online congress. This provided a unique opportunity to document the progress and the results of these projects. The current AquaIMPACT Newsletter 1/2021 summarizes the contributions of the four projects.
