We are truly honoured and deeply touched by the recognition from European Aquaculture Society EAS-SG members. Hearing from so many students in their own languages was incredibly moving. Supporting the EAS Student Group and witnessing the growth of aspiring aquaculture professionals has been a privilege. As we reflect on this partnership, it’s clear that it has always been about more than just sponsorship; it’s about investing in the future of our industry by nurturing the next generation of leaders. The energy, enthusiasm, and quality of research we see in EAS-SG sessions are truly inspiring. Thank you, EAS-SG, for this wonderful recognition and for allowing us to be part of such an important journey. With sincere gratitude, Luis, Jorge, and the SPAROS team
