GAF7 is the 7th annual event of GAFS conferences, coming to Thailand as a major, standalone event for the first time. Thailand is the natural venue for such a conference as the country has a well organised aquaculture and fisheries sector.

GAF7 will be a great opportunity for researchers, practitioners and students working on or interested in gender issues in fisheries and aquaculture to meet with each other. GAF7 will offer the up-to-date research and practices in this field. This will be a great venue to present your own research and plans and discuss them with others. GAF7 is the only regular forum dedicated to gender in aquaculture and fisheries globally.

GAF7 will be held at the Asian Institute of Technology Conference Centre (AITCC) Hotel, located in the AIT campus in Thailand. AIT is about 40 km away from Bangkok city and is well connected to the world, and has excellent facilities for such events.

The Asian Institute of Technology (www.ait.ac.th) is an international postgraduate academic and research organisation based in Thailand with a truly multinational and multicultural learning environment, supported by a vast network of over 20,000 highly successful alumni worldwide. AIT’s Gender and Development Studies (GDS), and Aquaculture and Aquatic Resources Management (AARM) programs are the local hosts for this event.
