As aquaculture scales to meet global food demands, the ability to harness genomic and functional data is becoming critical for improving sustainability, productivity, and genetic gain. Yet, much of this valuable data remains underused. This event aims to bridge that gap by showcasing how European research infrastructures are making data more accessible and actionable.
The program contains a mix of expert talks, interactive demonstrations, and open discussions focused on real-world applications, emerging tools, and cross-sector collaboration. Whether you are in research, breeding, or innovation strategy, this is your chance to engage with major projects shaping the future of aquaculture.

This workshop is funded by ELXIR Europe and the Norwegian Research Council.

ELIXIR Norway, with its subnode in Tromsø, has long-standing expertise in marine metagenomics. Sub node leader in Tromsø, **Professor Nils P. Willassen**, has co-lead a work package on this subject in the ELIXIR Excelerate H2020 project, and continues to co-lead the new ELIXIR Community for marine metagenomics in the new program for ELIXIR in 2019-23.

ELIXIR Norway is contributing to improved discoverability and reuse of non-human pathogen data through the project [Building FAIR metadata standards for non-human pathogen genomic and phenotypic data](https://elixir-europe.org/how-we-work/scientific-programme/science/bfsp/fairnhp), funded by the ELIXIR Commissioned Services programme. The project addresses fragmentation in data submission and metadata practices across veterinary, plant, and environmental domains. Through structured interviews and community workshops, the initiative identifies key gaps and promotes harmonised metadata standards aligned with international frameworks. The goal is to enable earlier discovery, improved interoperability, and more effective reuse of pathogen data across sectors, supporting surveillance, research, and One Health preparedness.
