MED-PCS Project participates in Harmony in Blue MEDNET Capitalization Event
The MED-PCS Project was presented during the HARMONY IN BLUE Mednet capitalization event, the 27-29th May 2015 in Athens.
As a strategic project and in its effort to capitalize knowledge, policy recommendations and innovative solutions developed by other European projects targeting key thematics of the global logistic chain, the MEDNET project has launched the initiative:
"Harmony in Blue"
The initiative focused on 4 main thematics, capitalizing the results and contributions from 16 projects to a Seamless Logistic chain in the Mediterranean.
- Gateways & Hinterland connections
- Customs procedures
- Maritime Safety & impact
- Port operations
In this event, which also happened to be organized in close cooperation with the European Maritime days, the MED-PCS project was presented in front of over 80 stakeholders and many more institutional representatives coming from different countries both inside and outside the borders of the European Union. Moreover, many opportunities of discussion with projects of similar scope were available.
