A homepage has been established at  www.seafoodcircle.dk and newsletters and fact sheets are sent out regularly highlighting project results. Further, meetings are arranged within thematic areas and brainstorming sessions are held to stimulate innovation in the industry, particularly among SMEs. Annually an award is presented to the company having documented the best collaboration between research and industry.
