COFASP

COFASP

FCT has been a partner of ERA-NET COFASP since February 1, 2013, a project involving 26 partners from 15 countries (Denmark, Italy, Norway, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Iceland, France, Romania, the United Kingdom, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Finland and Belgium), and one European institution, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES).

The COFASP network was created to directly monitor the actions planned in the field of fisheries, aquaculture and the processing of food of marine origin. It was created under the KBBE theme in FP7, based on the successes and experiences gained from its predecessor projects MariFish (2006-2011) and SEAS-ERA(2010-2014), and is part of the Europe 2020 strategy, which recognizes the bio-economy as an important part of the strategy.
