ESPO Conference 2025

MAGPIE will be taking part the ESPO Conferece in Thessaloniki, Greece, 8-9 may 2025 during the session “𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭”.
The first breakout, led by project coordinators Inge De Wolf, and Arne-Jan Polman will focus on Green Port Master Planning. By the end of 2026, the EU-funded MAGPIE and PIONEERS Ports projects will deliver a comprehensive Master Plan to help European ports achieve zero emissions by 2050. To make this plan truly effective, they need your input. Participants will be invited to shape the future of Green Ports by sharing their insights on what the Master Plan should include, its most useful format, and the support needed for implementation. The session will feature progress updates, interactive discussions, and insights. As key trade hubs, ports play a crucial role in reducing GHG emissions. Participation in this breakout will help refine the roadmap for sustainable, zero-emission ports and will directly influence the deliverables presented to the European Commission.
