Business trip report, Austria, Regenda

From 23^rd to 25^th September 2024, a field trip to Austria was organized for students of the third year of the High School of Fisheries in Vodňany. In general, 12 different places were visited both in the Czech Republic and especially in Austria. These included farms with intensive fish farming - RAS, salmonids farming, but we also saw various activities aimed at revitalising smaller and larger rivers, as well as specialised schools and an educational centre. In particular, the visit to the BEST partner institution in Tulln was very inspiring, where we learned more about the latest trends in nutrient recycling, not only in aquaculture. A total of 28 students and two teachers as chaperones attended the event. The whole event was organized by Dr. Ján Regenda, who also accompanied the excursion. The trip was realised and financially supported within the project ATCZ00002/AquaCycle, Reduction of emissions in aquaculture through sustainable use of runoff water and nutrients, Interreg Austria-Czech Republic 2021-2027.
