SFERA

Support Framework for Emergent Research Group in Aquaculture – INCAR²

What is it?

SFERA is a Program for Emerging Aquaculture Research Groups that will provide support through instruments such as seed funding, scientific strengthening and training, and will also promote the generation of new technologies and knowledge.

INAH

INCAR² Acceleration HUB

What is it?

The Technology Acceleration Hub (INAH) is an innovation and technology transfer platform designed to transform scientific results into applied solutions for aquaculture.

In summary

  • The SFERA program will strengthen the scientific development of emerging groups.
  • The INAH HUB will act as the accelerator that turns that knowledge into technologies applicable to the aquaculture industry.

SCIENCE WITHOUT BORDERS

We build collaboration networks that strengthen research and expand the impact of the knowledge generated.

NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL

We collaborate with national scientific and academic institutions and with international networks of leading research centres.
