The analysis of stakeholders' perception of shellfish diseases was a key objective of the VIVALDI project. A report was delivered in March 2019, following a long sociological analysis in 4 different European countries. The analysis was pushed a little further in France, where supplementary work was carried out.
The VIVALDI project held its Final Conference from 26 to 28 November 2019 in Brest (F). The presentations are now available online.
This is VIVALDI's last meeting before the closure of the project. All consortium members are invited to register before 03 February 2020.
