SeafoodCircle is established as a centre for transfer of knowledge to the Danish fish industry, and is led by DTU Aqua – National Institute of Aquatic Resources.
SeafoodCircle is hosted by DTU Aqua, Department of Seafood Research and offers the following services:
- Efficient and targeted transfer of knowledge, including "telephone advices”
- Screening of project ideas, including cost-benefit considerations
- Arrangements of seminars, workshops and thematic meetings
- Offering advice on how a company can exploit a potential for development, and facilitating contacts to who can give the best assistance in each case
- Consultancy visits for active technology transfer
The homepage www.seafoodcircle.dk provides information on research findings, industry news and other information relevant to the seafood industry. The emphasis is on applied research, but also research of a more general nature can be found.
The homepage contains a database with abstracts of articles and directions to further literature of relevance for the fish industry. The most recent research results are disseminated for stimulating innovation and new development.
Relevant news is disseminated regularly and can be accessed subsequently in a news archive. A conference calendar gives an overview of the most central arrangements of importance for the seafood industry.
Information and links to relevant organisations, associations and institutes makes SeafoodCircle a good portal as entrance to further information at the internet. For a direct contact to researchers a list of experts within different disciplines is provided.
The SeafoodCircle homepage will have texts both in Danish and English. This makes much of the information available to a broader audience.
