Journalists received a brief introduction to our institute, the European Common Fisheries Policy and the fisheries science that serves to advise policy and management, and were additionally invited to debate with our experts in order to gain further insight into the practical work conducted in our laboratory facilities.
Overall, it was a great event with enthusiastic participation from both sides, stimulating questions and diverse impressions, as well as the establishment of new interesting contacts to international media and journalists.
The press tour was a part of the initiative to “Promote Innovation and Research in Germany” which was launched by the Federal Ministry of education and Research (BMBF).
