On December 12, 2024, AQUASERV hosted its first online Info Session to introduce the Transnational Access (TA) Open Call, which offers researchers funded access to over 60 top-tier marine and freshwater research facilities across Europe.

With dozens of participants joining from across academia and industry, the session presented the benefits of the TA programme, eligibility requirements, and step-by-step guidance on how to apply through the ARIA platform.

The AQUASERV team also addressed common questions about the application process, technical feasibility checks, scientific peer review, and support available for prospective applicants. The Info Session was especially valuable for early-career researchers and international applicants seeking to collaborate across borders on topics related to aquaculture, fisheries, ecological restoration, and the blue economy.
