EURASTiP Best Practice Case Studies: Aquaculture Training and Capacity Building Collaborations between Europe and south-east Asia

The European Union Horizon 2020-funded project EURASTiP – Promoting Multi-Stakeholder Contributions to International Collaboration on Sustainable Solutions for Aquaculture Development in Southeast Asia – aims to consolidate existing European and Southeast Asian collaborations in the field of education and training, along with the development of new training material and best practice examples. Within the aquaculture sector, significant collaboration currently takes place between Europe and Asia in relation to training and capacity building, such as through Memorandums of Understanding, joint courses and co-location. There is also collaboration taking place at industry level with exchanges and internal capacity building, amongst other activities. This report presents the results from a desk study which aimed to identify, describe and characterise current capacity building collaborations with a view to present best practice case studies. It is intended to be a useful tool to support future collaboration opportunities between Europe and Southeast Asian stakeholders.
