On November 20th, “Aquaculture in Europe”, a networking event organised by students from the Faculty of Fishery and Protection of Waters (FFPW) took place at the Student Club Kampa on the University Campus of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
Lenka Kajgrová and Tomáš Pěnka, who are the Czech country representatives in the European Aquaculture Society - Student Group (EAS-SG), Alžběta Strouhová and Anıl A. Tellbüscher invited FFPW students, scientists, and also interested students from Prague and Brno to attend an informal event where they had the chance to get in touch with aquaculture students from other European institutions. The aim was to provide a glimpse into the international dimension of aquaculture, to motivate students to broaden their horizons by going abroad for an internship and to provide them with the right contacts to do so.
15 guests from the Czech Republic and 11 guests from 6 other EU countries were welcomed during the first edition of this event. The EAS-SG members made further use of their stay by attending the 3rd (EAS-SG) Winter Workshop, which took place at the International Environmental Education, Advice and Information Centre for Water Protection (MEVPIS) in Vodňany.
The organisers would like to thank the University of South Bohemia and the companies Sparos Lda, Pannonia Bio Zrt. for their financial support, without which the networking event and workshop could not have been possible. Last but not least, thank you to all the active students of FFPW USB who contributed to the smooth running of the workshop.
