The Network of Excellence is open to cooperation with any maritime and logistics organization interested in making a contribution to the achievement of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals through opportunities given by International funding programmes such as the ones set by the EU Green Deal.

The Network is established within the DocksTheFuture project funded by Horizon 2020 programme. The project set out to refine the Port of Future concepts in 2030, accepting the challenges of simplifying and digitizing the procedures and processes of port operations and logistics. With the project, the EU aims to increase the integration of maritime transport and TEN-T ports in the global logistics chain.
