AE2025: Building an Inclusive and Sustainable Future for European Aquaculture
Aquaculture is a vital pillar of global food security, thanks to its rich diversity of species, innovative production technologies, varied market offerings, and its deep connection to environmental stewardship in a changing world. As such, aquaculture is — and must be — accessible and beneficial to all.
This inclusive vision aligns with the protection of coastal ecosystems, the revitalization of traditional sectors, the strengthening of local economies, the development of skilled professionals and entrepreneurs, and the continuous learning needs of public institutions. Aquaculture can deliver sustainable growth while supporting environmental, social, and economic resilience.
At the heart of AE2025 is a commitment to enhancing social acceptance of aquaculture, promoting not only the production and trade of high-quality, nutritious aquatic products, but also recognizing the ecosystem services aquaculture can offer. The event aims to highlight the value that aquaculture brings to communities across Spain and Europe.
AE2025 will feature a comprehensive program of parallel sessions, covering a wide range of scientific disciplines and species through oral and poster presentations. In addition, the event will host an international trade exhibition, an industry forum, student activities, satellite workshops, and updates on EU-funded research projects — making it a key meeting point for the European aquaculture community.
