Following on from the success of the UK PP4SD project, a new PP4SD off-shoot has started in Wales, supported by the Welsh Assembly Government’s Knowledge Exploitation Fund. It is carrying out research within four industry sectors; fisheries management, aquaculture, land-based engineering and environmental management. This research will then inform the content of the training courses to ensure that they are specific and useful for the industries concerned. Several pilot training events have now been held, and we are confident that the project will benefit many small companies in this largely rural economy. For further information please follow the "PP4SD Wales" link at the top of the Welcome page on this website.
