Summary

This ICP Connect project has as outcome that critical educational capacity is in place among its partners South (in terms of structure, organization and human resources), as part of a global S-N network in aquaculture health education. This critical capacity is expected to act as a trigger for further improvement of aquaculture education in the South, and for enhanced visibility of the South partners in international aquaculture education. To achieve this, the South partners will become co-owning members within the existing Erasmus Mundus (EM) educational network on health management in aquaculture by the academic year (AY) 25-26 (the preceding period being used for the needed administrative and program adaptations), with the VLIR grantees being offered a separate track within the EM, and providing the VLIR grantees/graduates with an EM diploma.
