The conference offers plenty of opportunities to meet each other in person. In addition to plenty of room for informal contact, the program consists of lectures, discussions, poster presentations, pitches and a trade fair for companies and institutions. The “Sustainability award shellfish sector 2024/2025” will also be presented during the conference.
The conference focuses on the shellfish sector at home and abroad. Participants are expected from the Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark and Portugal. Translation from English to Dutch and vice versa is provided.
The theme of this years conference is "Perspectives for Sustainable Production and Sales." There are prospects, because shellfish are healthy food and farming is good for nature. On the other hand, there are current problems with both production and sales. The mussel harvest in the Netherlands is declining. Scarcity is partly being met by imports, but elsewhere in Europe, production is also under pressure. What are the causes, remedies, and prospects? How is this being addressed elsewhere in Europe, and especially how to address the various consumer categories? Here you can find the whole program.
We hope to welcome you,
Ineke Nijssen, Jasper van Houcke, Jacob Capelle and Aad Smaal
