Day 2 of the Zero C Project Training at UV! ?? Today, the training continues with a focus on Science IoT, Automation and Control Systems, as well as IoT and sensor networks for monitoring and managing electrical energy. ???? Today’s sessions are led by Prof. Ing. Marco Mita from the University of Bari, Italy, bringing expertise in these crucial areas for the digitalization of maritime transport and logistics. ?? This two-day training provides an excellent opportunity for academics from partner universities to exchange knowledge and experiences. #ZeroC #UniversityOfVlora #IoT #Digitalization #SmartMaritime

The first day of the two-day training within the Zero C project has started today at @uni.ismail_qemali.vlore ! “Ismail Qemali” University of Vlora is hosting this training dedicated to digitalization in reducing CO? emissions in maritime transport and logistics. ???? Academics from three partner universities in the Western Balkans are participating, Vasileios Podimatas from National Technical University of Athens presented the significance of digitalization in shipping sector and its contribution to energy efficiency. The training will last for two days, covering topics such as digitalization technologies, IoT, and energy efficiency. Stay tuned for more details from this event! #ZeroC #UniversityOfVlora #Digitalization #SustainableMaritime

???? Third training for a Zero Carbon Future in Maritime Transport and Logistics?? On December 5-6, 2024, Hamburg University of Technology hosted an impactful capacity-building event under the Zero C Project, funded by the European Union. The training brought together teaching staff from Western Balkan Higher Education Institutions to enhance their knowledge and skills in preparation for a zero-carbon maritime transport and logistics society. Participants engaged in sessions focusing on: ? Improved energy efficiency and decarbonization in port operations. ? Maritime logistics simulations using AnyLogic. ? Advanced strategies like Port Call Optimization and Slot Booking Systems. The event also included hands-on exercises, focused on practical understanding. This milestone marks another step towards sustainable and energy-efficient maritime solutions, empowering educators to lead the charge in shaping a decarbonized future. ?? #ZeroC #capacitybuilding g #MaritimeLogistics #EnergyEfficiency #Decarbonization #ErasmusCBHE #Sustainability #GreenFuture #HamburgUniversityOfTechnology
