SSNS Team were motivated and educated how to make Module design, learning outcome, assessment and feedback for Magister Course. Each university participant also presented the course development to get the evaluations and suggestions.

Photo session of SSNS Team for closing our study visit in University of Stirling. We agreed to develop sustainable seafood and nutrition security issue in our magister curriculum.

SSNS Team are motivated for more concerning about ethical consideration of handling live animal for research by Dr. Mags Crumlish. Also the need of strict health and safety procedures in laboratories for animal as well as students.

Dr. Dave Little stated that in Europe only edible parts (33%) are consumed by people, but actually the inedible part (675) actually plays more important role in the nutrition of Asian people where seafood is produced. It shows that most educated or developed countries are throwing away the nutrient rich part of fish. Therefore, nutrition education and value of seafood is not just for less developed countries it is perhaps more important for developed countries and for educated people. read more

SSNS Team visited Marine Harvest Loch Leven Salmon Farm in Scotland, which is the largest salmon farm in the world which has production sites in more than 8 countries.  This salmon farm has 16 cages, with the production capacity of 3000 ton per cycle of 17^th months.

The activity on 2^nd day was seminar on Making the Most of Masters (MMM) by Dr Eunice Atkins and Blue Technology Master for Blue career by Dr. Andrew Desbois. MMM is an activity that engaging industry in curriculum, or an initiative aimed at building links between universities and businesses (public, private and third sector). Many of the postgraduate courses provide opportunities for Master students to undertake collaborative dissertation projects with businesses for mutual benefit. Dr. Andrew Desbois presented that a need to bring together industry and education/training providers to promote and support the development of career opportunities and deliver skilled people to meet the needs of industry. The activities like provide courses/training such as bachelor/masters courses providing specific knowledge and skills for jobs in the blue economy to highly qualified professionals (e.g. lawyers, logisticians, biologists, chemists, etc.); and also develop (re)training and upskilling opportunities for blue professionals to upgrade knowledge and competences (e.g. IT skills, environmental management skills, learn new technologies, entrepreneurship or languages). read more
