Transnational call for proposals on Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Processing through the ERA-NET COFASP
The main objectives of COFASP are:
- To lay the basis for exploitation according to the precautionary principles and to enhance innovation in and competiveness of the primary sectors fisheries and aquaculture as well as subsequent seafood processing and distribution to the consumer.
- To define the science, information and data necessary to underpin the revision of the Common
Fisheries Policy (CFP) and to ensure its successful implementation by designing complementary national research programmes and outlining monitoring and information/data sharing systems needed.
Three research areas are supported by the funding partners for this call for proposals:
- Fischeries
- Aquaculture
- Seafood processing
ANR funding for the COFASP call for proposals is dedicated to the topic Seafood processing in public-private partnership.
The European seafood processing industry is as varied as it is vast. The common factor is that the end price paid for each product and the consumer utilization of the purchased product is highly dependent on handling throughout the product chain. Seafood originating in European waters has the chance of becoming a high quality product if collaboration can be assured in good handling and making use of modern processing technologies. A holistic approach to the seafood processing as an entire unbroken product chain from harvesting to cooking, may facilitate economic benefits for the greater good of Europe with safer seafood, reduced waste of finalized packed seafood and, improved seafood quality, as post-harvest losses are reduced in order to maximise resource efficiency.
ERA-Net COFASP call for proposals has a provisional total budget of 5M €.
