Abstract
As a response to the need for a more efficient and mutual exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge, the Bridgehead Aquaculture 2050 project developed a regional knowledge platform with a set of new and improved instruments.
It was shown that the instruments stimulated aquaculture stakeholders in the target region to build up trust, competence and experience in collaborating with groups they previously had little knowledge about. Participating students and researchers opened a wide range of expertise within the fields of technology, natural sciences and social sciences. The sharing of knowledge, creation of engagement and general networking across the stakeholder groups using one or several Bridgehead instruments, contributes to the realisation of the paradigm towards a sector-wide acknowledgement of the importance of research-based innovation in the green and digital transformation.
