The H2020 project fellowship formed by Fibre4Yards, Mari4Yard, and RESURGAM organised a joint event to present their results and technologies with the common goal of strengthening the competitiveness of European shipyards. On 30th and 31st of May 2023 they met stakeholders and key actors of the European maritime sector, in Rotterdam at RDM Innovation Dock in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
What was in there for you? Top-class industry experts as well as representatives of the European Commission shared their views on the development opportunities of European shipyards. The teams of the three research and innovation projects showcased novel technological / digital solutions. And of course, there was plenty of room for exchange and networking.
Industry meets research – a formula that always guarantees highly interesting expert discussions!
In the agenda below yuo can find the links to the presentations of the keynote speakers and the representatives of the three projects and the photo gallery.
