[Save the date – MAGPIE & PIONEERS conference] Ports in Transition: Building Resilient Ecosystems

The joint final conference of the MAGPIE and PIONEERS projects is coming to Rotterdam.

We are pleased to announce that the joint final conference of the MAGPIE and PIONEERS projects will take place on 17 September 2026 at De Doelen, Rotterdam (NL).

This landmark event will bring together port authorities, policymakers, industry leaders, and knowledge partners to explore what has proven to work in practice. Through concrete demonstration results, hands-on exchange, and tools such as the Green Port Master Plan, the conference will show how innovation can be embedded into long-term port strategies — turning ambition into action.

Join the discussion, exchange with peers, and identify your next steps toward a green, resilient, and competitive port ecosystem.

More detailed information will follow soon. Stay tuned!
