Engaging with the Industry at Lusekonferansen 2026
Recently, the SimLice team attended Lusekonferansen 2026, where we met with aquaculture professionals, researchers, and industry partners from across the sector. Events like this play an important role in maintaining a strong connection between scientific modelling and the realities of day-to-day aquaculture operations.
While simulation provides powerful predictive capabilities, its value ultimately depends on how well it reflects operational conditions. Direct dialogue with farmers, researchers, and industry stakeholders helps ensure that our models remain practical, relevant, and aligned with the challenges faced in modern aquaculture.
Learning from Industry Experience
Lusekonferansen provides a valuable platform for sharing knowledge and discussing the latest developments in sea lice management. Through presentations, discussions, and informal conversations, the SimLice team gained insight into current operational practices, emerging challenges, and new approaches being explored across the industry.
These exchanges are essential for refining modelling assumptions and improving the accuracy and usefulness of our simulation tools. Understanding how farmers and operators approach lice management in practice helps ensure that our models remain grounded in real-world conditions.
Strengthening Collaboration Between Science and Industry
Collaboration remains a cornerstone of effective innovation in aquaculture. Conferences such as Lusekonferansen bring together researchers, farmers, technology providers, and regulators, creating valuable opportunities for dialogue and knowledge exchange.
For SimLice, engaging directly with the industry helps strengthen the link between scientific research and operational decision-making. Continued collaboration will be essential as aquaculture adapts to evolving environmental conditions, regulatory expectations, and sustainability goals.
