Kattegatcentret (KC) is a Danish public aquarium with a large outreach department teaching more than 11.000 pupils a year and working closely together with the local educational institutions on both primary and secondary level. KC produces educational material that is used in connection with teaching sessions in KC but also in preparation before the visit or after the visit. These materials can be downloaded for free from the KC website and is used by many teachers in Denmark.
KC has experience from other Erasmus+ projects – some of them also involving some of the partners in this project – and from a lot of other national and international projects focusing on e.g. education, development of teaching activities and
materials and dissemination of “research and development” targeting pupils, entrepreneurs, interest groups, decision makers and authorities. Topics of the projects has included sustainable cultivation and exploitation of seaweed, RAS –
recirculated aquaculture systems, fish and health, recycling of emissions in aquaculture systems, and multiuse at sea.
KC is partner in AlgeCenter Denmark – collaboration between four institutions: Aarhus University, Danish Technological Institute, Copenhagen University and the Kattegatcentre, under which several research projects operate. The purpose of
AlgeCenter Danmark is to find out how algae can be used as a new resource in a world where traditional resources are under pressure.
