A workshop was recently held at Matís' premises in Reykjavík on fishing gear and catch handling (New technology for the Nordic fishing fleet: Fishing gear and effective catch handling).
In addition to Matís, Havstovan in the Faroe Islands, Sintef in Norway and CATch-fish in Denmark participated in the organization of the meeting. The meeting was sponsored by AG-fisk (Working group for fisheries co-operation), which is a sub-agency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The workshop was attended by about 50 people from nine countries and included 19 lectures on recent research and developments in fishing gear and catch management. It can be said that the meeting was a great success and the relatives are convinced that it will be followed by a co-operation project involving experts from the Nordic fisheries sector.
Further information about the project and the agenda of the workshop can be found at project website. You can watch and listen to the lectures themselves Youtube channel Matís.
