Start year 2021 End year 2024 Funding (€) € 981,000 Website https://www.sintef.no/projectweb/compareit/ Summary Compareit" is an ambitious project that will explore the challenges and opportunities with different aquaculture production methods. These production systems include land based, closed floatings ones, semi-eclosed, as well as exposed facilities. The goal of the project is to consider these production systems comparatively, and assessing them in a full value chain perspective. The aim of this approach is to conder where theses systems are best located geographically, and how regulations can be optimalized within the context of not only conventional aquaculture, but also other users of the same areas. By doing this, challenges and opportunities related to these systems will be evaluated and policy action plans can be developed to best avoid conflicts. The project will contribute to more legitimacy of the industry and a validation of partners and relevant interest groups opinions and perspectives. This will enable the industry to develop better practices around production methods are area use. In addition, the project will map out potential synergies both within the industry, and between the aquaculture industry and other actors. This four-year project includes a competence hub where the core of CompareIt! consists of an expert task force from SINTEF Ocean and six Norwegian industry partners (Sjømat Norge, Norsk Industri, SalMar, Nordlaks, Aquaculture Innovations AS, Salmon Evolution), in addition to a Serious Games developer, House of Knowledge and the University of Tromsø. The work focuses on six competence areas: production systems; future scenario building; value chain analysis; social acceptance; and stakeholder integration.
