I've embarked on a thrilling journey as a PhD researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam, delving into the captivating realm of Floating Ports & Governance. Joining the vibrant community of fellow researchers, I'm contributing to the broader Floating Future Research Project, exploring the intersections of governance, technology, and ecology.With the Netherlands facing the challenge of dwindling land availability amidst urbanization, our focus on developing innovative floating port structures couldn't be more timely. Crafting a robust governance strategy is paramount for the successful realization of this visionary project. This research collaboration between Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB) and Ports and City Logistics at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences promises to be an enriching experience. Under the expert supervision of Prof. Dr. Jurian Edelenbos, Prof. Dr. Ron van Duin, and Dr. Wouter Spekkink, I'm eager to delve deep into this dynamic field.
