Workshop on Aquatic Sciences Biotechnology was held in Istanbul University Faculty of Aquatic Sciences (May 10 - 11, 2018). 

Since “water” and “aquatic organisms” are subjects of many inter-disciplinary scientific research studies, biotechnology and molecular based studies provide an opportunity to the researchers from diverse disciplines to work together. With this aim, a two-day workshop on May 10-11, 2018 was organised by Istanbul University Faculty of Aquatic Sciences with the participation of researchers from various academic units where the “biotechnological methods” were used and studies on “Aquatic Sciences” were conducted, such as the faculties of Aquatic Sciences, Fisheries, Fisheries Technology Engineering, Natural Sciences, Agriculture, Medicine, Engineering and Programs of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biology, Environment Engineering and other related Programs of Engineering Faculties and Institutes of Marine Sciences. 

During the workshop, researchers from diverse disciplines presented the results of their recent studies, shared their academic background and met with the representatives of the related sectors. With the scope of the program, experts from other countries, who were specialized on aquatic biotechnology, participated and gave invited scientific speeches. 

Workshop with numbers:

• 100  participants from 24 different academic institution
• Invited speakers from different countries (Turkey -Boğaziçi University, Scotland - University of Stirling, Japan - Ehime University, Germany - University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven and Spain - University of Santiago de Compostela)
• Students from Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and also Molecular Biology of Genetics Department

• 23 presentation 

With the belief on the future benefits of this workshop for the scientists working on the “Aquatic Sciences”, young researchers particularly, and for the related sectors; we declare that we are honored to be with you in Istanbul University Faculty of Aquatic Sciences during this workshop.
