Aquaculture 2020 Transending the Barriers - as long as...

Aquaculture is one of the seven large-scale programmes established by the Research Council of Norway. Large-scale programmes are an important new initiative towards realising central research-policy priorities and shall be developed through extensive dialogue within and between research communities, users and the public authorities. In the autumn of 2003 the Research Council invited the aquaculture industry, the research communities and the public authorities to take part in a broadly focused future-oriented dialogue, a foresight analysis about Norwegian aquaculture, Aquaculture 2020. The initiative was received with considerable interest on the part of institutions and individuals. A total of 70 persons took part in four gatherings where some 150 mini-scenarios and five more complex scenarios were developed and one arrived at strategic recommendations and initiatives directed towards research, the public authorities, and trade and industry. The mini-scenarios and the scenarios in Aquaculture 2020 represent a set of different and hopefully interesting perspectives on the potential condition of Norwegian aquaculture in 2020. The scenarios also attempt to explain that which has taken place along the way.
