On 25th September 2024, Professor Sonia Rey Planellas gave a presentation at a University of Stirling, Institute of Aquaculture meeting for staff and research students on the opportunities still available under the AQUAEXCEL programme, and especially the new opportunities for both inbound and outbound transnational collaborations with new infrastructures through the recent link with EMBRC and the newly launched AQUASERV programme. It was also an opportunity to remind staff of the possibilities for technician transnational access and encourage engagement with the TNA project review process which requires a large pool of active reviewers to maintain an efficient selection process.
