EATiP covers a diverse range of challenges that are vital to the sector's future growth and innovation:
To study, develop, promote and defend the collective opinions of the research and innovation requirements, identified by its members but without involving itself in their professional activities;
To communicate these collective opinions to the appropriate authorities, entities and interests in Europe and be recognised as an approved European Technology Platform by the European Commission.
To identify and implement actions that will improve the competitiveness of professional European aquaculture and related industries, specifically through the application of knowledge-based activities.
To develop measures and structures that will improve the research, development and innovation framework conditions to support the sustainable development of European aquaculture.
To assist its members in the organisation of their activities, notably by establishing the conditions for common study and providing associate administrative and support services.
Specifically, these challenges will be met by generating 3 major membership-endorsed outputs, ready for dissemination to other stakeholders and wider society. Together, these outputs will represent the views and priorities of the multi-stakeholder EATiP.
