Objectives and expected achievements
- Form a network of major centres of infrastructure currently working with Arctic charr by meetings in person and by communication by a shared website. A key development will be the formation of this "virtual infrastructure".
- Inform and include a wider network of interested parties. The parties are likely to represent educational, commercial and conservation interests.
- Encourage greater co-operation and complementarity between infrastructure holders.
- Identify, prioritise, and standardise protocols and best practice at a European level. Standardisation of protocols will encourage consistency and quality in the operations of the existing infrastructures.
- Encourage wider access for researchers to the infrastructures and to encourage wider links for the dissemination of knowledge.
- Encourage effective and Europe-wide innovative research and development of Arctic charr, utilising the infrastructures and centres of expertise.
