Faroes set to host Seagriculture EU 2024

Europe’s biggest conference for the seaweed industry, Seagriculture EU 2024, takes place this June in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. Seagriculture EU 2024 will be held on 18-20 June at The Nordic House, Tórshavn (pictured, photo by Arne List). The theme of this year’s event, “Bridging Continents”, transcends borders and oceans to unite seaweed enthusiasts from diverse corners of the world. The conference will be delving deep into the global landscape of seaweed cultivation, harvesting, and innovation, learning from the unique experiences and perspectives of experts and enthusiasts from various countries and continents. Delegates will have the opportunity to join a site visit to Ocean Rainforest, the innovative Faroes-based kelp farmer that is also developing sites in North America. The organisers, DLG Benelux, warn that flights to the Faroes, and local accommodation, are expected to be in high demand, and advise that delegates book early. The lead event sponsor for Seagriculture EU 2023 was Norwegian research institute SINTEF and the conference was also supported by North Sea Farmers and the Norwegian Seaweed Association. There were 221 delegates from 26 countries attending.
