8 research institutes and universities from 4 European countries thus bring together expertise in energy, transport, digitalisation, logistics, port operations and social & human sciences. Their findings and papers (also available in our deliverables) are openly shared, enabling ports and other stakeholders to access, adapt and build on the project’s results.
Open knowledge and the dissemination of research are at the core of MAGPIE’s vision for the port of the future and were embedded in the commitments made to the European Commission under our project’s Grant Agreement.
