European Maritime Days, 28th - 29th May 2015, Greece
The European Maritime Day 2015 Piraeus celebrations will kick off on May 28 with a conference focusing on ports and coasts as engines for Blue Growth. The country's largest port will also celebrate its maritime community and tradition with high-level sessions and workshops, an exhibition and happenings throughout the city.
European Maritime Day is celebrated annually throughout Europe on May 20, Piraeus highlights the maritime community's leading role in the future of the Blue Economy by offering a platform for policymakers to discuss, debate and exchange best practices with regard to the seas and oceans, and the opportunities they offer as well as the role of ports and coastal cities, which are at the forefront of the Blue Economy.
During the Piraeus conference, ministers, commissioners, CEOs and experts will discuss the spectrum of opportunities and great challenges that coasts and seas present, share best practices and develop new synergies. On May 28, a plenary session will introduce the main political challenges of coastal cities and ports.
In the meantime, sector professionals and insiders will have a chance to meet, exchange experiences and discuss the latest developments at the exhibition to be held on May 28-29 at the Athens Concert Hall.
The REMCAP project will be organising a workshop during Open days. The project has reached a stage where it is building interest in specific investment opportunities in the Blue Economy, and it would be useful to extend engagement with both public and private sectors. The REMCAP workshop will inform stakeholders of the progress and achievement of the project and explore international market priorities.
The workshop will also help the REMCAP project to build a consortium of stakeholders with an interest in the REMCAP project areas of work.
