What is the Port Center Network?
It is a working group that focuses on sharing best practices related to the subject of port, city and citizen integration, and in promoting the concept of Port Center.
It meets annually to exchange on the latest innovations in the field of dialogue with the citizen. So far, six workshops have already been organised: Ashdod in 2014, Dunkerque in 2015, Antwerp in 2016, Le Havre in 2017, Genoa in 2018 and Bilbao in 2019.
