BLUE PORTS

The BLUE PORTS (BLUE CAREERS IN NET ZERO ENERGY PORTS) project is dedicated to enhancing the skills and capacity of human capital within the port ecosystem, to support their green transition. The project aims to bridge the existing service gap and align with the ambitious European Green Deal targets, including the Sustainable Blue Economy Strategy set for 2030 and 2050. By delivering an EU-wide acknowledged training and certification scheme, accredited against ISO/IEC 17024 standards, BLUE PORTS offers a competitive advantage to port personnel and authorities. BLUE PORTS is coordinated by the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems Laboratory at the School of Chemical & Environmental Engineering-Technical University of Crete, and is co-funded by the European Union through the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).
