What is the Port Center Network<\/strong> Working Group ?<\/strong><\/h2>

This is a working group focused on sharing best practices related to the integration of ports, cities, and citizens<\/strong>, and on promoting this concept<\/strong>.<\/p>

It meets annually to discuss the latest innovations in citizen engagement.<\/p>

Six workshops have already been held:<\/strong> Ashdod in 2014, Dunkirk in 2015, Antwerp in 2016, Le Havre in 2017, Genoa in 2018, and Bilbao in 2019.<\/p><\/div>
