The international project has a duration of 36 months and consists of 3 transversal WP:

• WP 1. Management
• WP 9. Project Evaluation & Quality Control
• WP 10. Dissemination and exploitation.

And 7 implementation work packages:

• WP 2. Approach to digitisation, collection of good practices and training programmes of the aquaculture sector to be digitised.
• WP 3. General structure of the AQUATECHInn 4.0 Training Programme and definitions of the integrated Modules and the WPs that will develop the structure of the AQUATECHInn4.0 Course Modules.
• WP 4. MODULE A. New technologies in fish and shellfish aquaculture.
• WP 5. MODULE B. Sustainability management in aquaculture.
• WP 6. MODULE C. Management of animal health and biosecurity, welfare, nutrition and reproduction.
• WP 7. Results e-learning platform. Development and integration of VR/gamification activities.
• WP 8. Pilot experiences and follow-up. 

The final products of the project are advanced training tools based on digital blended learning, with the use of simulators, gamification and open educational resources (MOOCs), tailored to the needs of the aquaculture sector professionals, from producers to young researchers.

In this project, CCMAR is responsible for WP10 - Dissemination and exploitation, which will be assured by the CCMAR Science Communication Unit.

Several CCMAR members are also involved in other work packages, either trough CCMAR or trough our partnership with the University of the Algarve (e.g.: Elsa Cabrita as WP6 leader).
