• Fisheries training should encourage lifelong development opportunities. Fisheries training should offer individuals the opportunity to develop both personally and professionally. Training programmes and training are perhaps not least about people living significant events, that moment when things fall into place, when a new view has been formulated. But it is also about being able to take responsibility, argue and debate. In the programme, we encourage open debate, and fellows should always be able to justify their selection of problems, their approach to solving them, and their analysis and interpretations. At the same time, they form significant relationships with teachers, mentors and fellow students.
