Agenda

How to roll out the MAGPIE innovations in the living port ecosystem of DeltaPort? What is the best way to engage with the local community of Wesel? We are going to answer these questions during out next Port-City workshop, on the 17th September 2024 in Wesel (Germany). This workshop aims at confronting the innovations developed under the MAGPIE project with the local reality of our fellow port.

Our event will be open to all: feel free to register and join us to let your voice be heard. In the morning, a plenary session will be organized, in order to share the latest news from the MAGPIE consortium and to introduce the projects and initiatives carried out by the local partners. In the afternoon, breakout sessions will allow our participants to enter into the details of sustainable transport modalities and green energy in ports. This workshop is co-organized by Deltaport and the AIVP on behalf of the MAGPIE project, and will be introduced by the Port of Rotterdam as coordinating partner of our consortium.

This workshop is co-organized by DeltaPort
