An important facet of the European MAGPIE project is the dissemination of results and knowledge to various audiences and stakeholders. One of the key audiences are research actors and students. The MAGPIE Consortium therefore works on publishing various academic papers on the results and findings of our project. On August 8, 2023, Maarten Flikkema published an academic article titled “MAGPIE: Towards the European Green port of the Future”. This paper discusses the project plans and preliminary developments, and looks ahead to the results of the project. Furthermore, Kris Sooprayan and Jeroen Pruyn (TU Delft) have delivered the paper “Factors for innovation adoption by ports: a systematic literature review” on August 21, 2024. It investigates the factors influencing innovation adoption in ports by conducting a systematic literature review and proposes a comprehensive framework for understanding the process of innovation adoption. It argues that factors for innovation adoption applicable to a business-to-consumer market are also relevant to a business-to-business market. Hesam Nagash & Jeroen Pruyn (TUD) presented two papers more recently. The first paper is “Shifting Waves of Shipping: A Review on Global Shipping Projections and Methodologies”, this will be soon available as a journal article pending acceptance of the last review (minor revisions) in the Journal of Shipping and Trade. The second paper is “Bilateral Energy Trade Evolution under Different Climate Scenarios”, which is currently being considered for publication in Engineering by the IAME Conference. The IAME Conference in 2024, organised in Valencia, had as a lead topic “Building innovative maritime ecosystems: Smart, Green & Valuable for society”, which we would argue is a topic that the MAGPIE project embodies. The MAGPIE project will continue to publish academic papers based on its findings.

On December 3 and 4, the European Green Deal projects – MAGPIE, PIONEERS, OLGA, STARGATE, and TULIPS - jointly organized a conference to present their mid-project findings to the European Commission as well as to relevant stakeholders. This conference was an important and valuable moment for the projects to exchange lessons learned and results found so far as well as present their advancements to a European stakeholder audience, who are key players in the topic.
During the afternoon of November 28, the 19th World Conference Cities & Ports organized by AIVP (MAGPIE Consortium member and WP2 leader) focused on energy transition in ports and port cities. It was an opportunity to bring together players involved in the European MAGPIE project and its sister project PIONEERS. Zenaida MOURÃO, Senior Researcher for INESCTEC and WP4 leader moderated the one-hour round-table session. The roundtable included: Reyer WILL, Patrick VAN CAUWENBERGHE, Miguel CASTRO, André LISBOA, and Luane LEMOS AGOSTINHO.
The AIVP World Conference Cities & Ports was an important opportunity for mixed (industrials, ports, cities) and international groups to provide their insights on the MAGPIE demonstrations. During the energy transition session on November 28, the participants of the parallel track (approximately 100 international port-city-industry actors) discussed 7 of the 10 MAGPIE demonstrators. Maurice Jansen, Senior Researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam, in collaboration with the AIVP, organized a workshop in the form of an interactive game.
