WWW.WAS.ORG • WORLD AQUACULTURE • SEPTEMBER 2013 27 Innovation Platform (EATiP). This umbrella organization of all key stakeholders in European aquaculture (Fig. 28) is promoted by the European Commission and aims to establish a strong relationship between aquaculture and the consumer, with the assurance of developing a sustainable industry and fulfilling its role in society at large. With business leaders in the driver’s seat and involving all stakeholders, EATiP has recently finalized its vision document Aquaculture 2030 and, based on this, its Strategic Research Agenda. Speaking with one voice, EATiP wants to ensure better leverage to address particular issues, such as legislation and international cooperation. Through its recently established international desk, EATiP wants to become more proactive in exploring and facilitating win-win interactions with other regions in the world, for example with Asian partners in view of the very good relations established between both regions by the ASEM aquaculture platform (see www. asemaquaculture.org). More of these multistakeholder platforms can be set up to stimulate regional interactions in aquaculture.
