EUROSHELL: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND PRODUCERS TO SUPPORT THE EUROPEAN MARINE MOLLUSC PRODUCTION SECTOR

摘要

EUROSHELL, funded under FP7, will provide solutions to identify current and future challenges facing the shellfish sector, identifying ways to improve the knowledge transfer between science and the sector and making sure that science is applied to theresearch needs of the sector are key elements to this proposal.It will focus on identification of the underlying factors that inhibit effective knowledge management in the sector and provide regional forums to facilitate dialogue between shellfish companies (especially through their regional or national producers' organizations) and researchers, with a strong focus on developing efficient methodology for knowledge transfer.
