NEPAQUA – Innovating Nepalese Aquaculture
NEPAQUA aims to drive a sustainable aquaculture transition in Nepal through an interdisciplinary approach combining socio-ecological and socio-technical perspectives. By establishing an Aquaculture Systems Living Lab at the Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), the project promotes innovation, stakeholder collaboration, and capacity building across academia, policy institutions, and local communities.

Together with AFU, we are organizing five webinars that explore key aspects of aquaculture and aquaponics, covering foundational principles, local experiences, practical low-tech solutions, gender perspectives, and innovation pathways. These sessions will connect Nepal to the global Living Lab network led by ZHAW, fostering knowledge exchange, research collaboration, and sustainable development aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The webinars will take place on selected Thursdays at 13:00 (CET) / 17:45 (Nepal time), starting 13. November 2025.
