SYNERGETICS had the opportunity to act as a co-host for the second Technology Transfer Workshop from PLATINA4Action. The jointly-hosted workshop proved invaluable for SYNERGETICS in the sense of the second work package regarding synchronisation with and between vessel owners and operators.
Three SYNERGETICS partners took the stage and valuable discussions were held with the audience. Igor Bačkalov presented the SYNERGETICS Catalogue, providing a comprehensive overview of innovative greening technologies for inland navigation and coastal shipping, with a specific focus on the possibilities for reduction of power demand by hydrodynamic improvements.
The notable aspect of the event was the provision of effective on-site translation services, which facilitated a productive exchange of ideas between policymakers, vessel operators and other stakeholders in a multilingual context, encompassing Dutch, French and English.
The event had as its geographical focus Belgium and France and was successful in attracting a suitable audience.
