1. Introduction

The main objective of the MARPOS project is to assist the Commission in

the implementation of the EU Maritime Transport Policy objectives, by

utilizing the results of past research work in the field of Maritime

Transport and building upon related expertise from the Transport sector.

It addresses the issue by consolidating and synthesizing the results of

Maritime Transport Research funded by DG RTD in the past two

Framework Programmes (namely the 5th and 6th FP) as well as the current

FP7, up to the third call, in order to indentify, through a gap analysis, the

fields where further research is needed and provide a comprehensive and

holistic view on future maritime transport research and form the priority

lines regarding five key Maritime Transport Research Themes, addressed

within the project, namely competitiveness, energy, environment, human

factors and safety & security.

An important part of MARPOS work is devoted to dissemination and

networking actions and to this end many dissemination – consultation

activities have been conducted aiming to present to various experts,

administrators and policy makers across the EU, the contents of the

Commission’s Maritime Policy emphasizing on the Transport related

elements, presenting the project’s results and recommendations regarding

future Transport research themes & priorities, and taking useful feedback

in all aspects of the project’s work so as to be able to finalize its results

and recommendations.

This report provides an overview of all the dissemination – consultation

activities that have been conducted during the project, presenting also the

material that has been produced to support them.

2. Dissemination means and channels

The dissemination of the MARPOS outcomes was considered as an

important task throughout the project’s duration and to that end, many

dissemination and promotion activities were conducted. These included

the creation of a corporate design for MARPOS (logo, layouts, templates

etc), the production of dissemination material (project’s poster and

brochure), the development of the project website and the dissemination

of MARPOS in several events, expert meetings, round tables etc aiming to

inform the EU maritime transport community about the MARPOS outputs

i.e. the research needs that have been addressed over the last decade


CERTH/HIT

and provide them an overview of the priority lines that should be formed

for future Maritime Transport Research.

2.1 Project website

The MARPOS website, which is available at www.marpos-project.net, was

established from the very beginning of the project (December 2008) and

provides useful information on MARPOS work and progress, links to the

project’s events and deliverables and to the MARPOS e-tool (Maritime

Transport Research Database – MTRD).

Figure 1: MARPOS website (www.marpos-project.net)

In detail, the information provided by the MARPOS website is structured

around 6 tabs. The first tab “Project Overview” informs the web visitors

about the main objective of the project and the approach it has developed

to meet its overall goal, which is to provide a comprehensive and holistic

view of future maritime transport research. The second tab “Events &

News” provides information on any project’s future or past events as well

as other events and news regarding the field of Maritime Transport

Research. In the third tab “Outcomes”, a list of the public deliverables of

the project is presented, informing the web visitors of their status and

enabling them to download any document they are interested in. The

dissemination materials produced during the project are also

downloadable in a pdf format. The next tab concerns the “MARPOS e-tool”

http://www.marpos-project.net/

http://www.marpos-project.net/


CERTH/HIT

which has a dedicated web link and is expected to be incorporated into the

MARPOS website once it is finalized. The last two tabs “Consortium” and

“Contact” provide information about the MARPOS consortium along with

their contact details.

2.2 Public consultation and information events

In order to realize the dissemination of the MARPOS outcomes and to

establish the exchange of ideas, the project partners organized a thematic

Workshop and a major Final conference, both of which took place in

Brussels. A brief description of the two events is given below along with

the dissemination material that was produced and used. It should be

noted that the proceedings of the MARPOS Workshop and Conference are

described in detail in two other project deliverables.

2.2.1 MARPOS Workshop

Based on its scope and objectives, the MARPOS Workshop on “Research

priorities for Sustainable Surface Transport” can be considered both as

information / dissemination event as well as a consultation Workshop. The

Workshop took place in Brussels on the 24/06/2010 and its main objective

was to report on the results of the MARPOS survey of research outcomes

and their implementation, related to maritime transport activities funded

under the 5th, 6th and 7th Framework Programme. The analysis, which was

presented at the Workshop, identified useful research results that could be

implemented within the maritime transport sector, and tasks that required

further research and development.

Additional target of the event was to open a discussion among experts in

the European maritime transport industry aiming to identify the future

priorities of maritime transport research, building on the results of the

above analysis and also taking into account the WATERBORNE TP

Strategic Research Agenda, and the changes that have taken place in

recent years, including the global economic crisis.

The most important actions that took place prior to the event concerned:

The identification of the event’s aims, objectives and target audience

The preparation of the workshop agenda


CERTH/HIT

Communication with key experts from different sectors of the EU

maritime transport area and the formulation of the speakers,

chairmen and participants list

Dissemination activities (web and press announcements, email

invitations etc)

Other logistics aspects (conference room reservation, preparation of

dissemination material etc)

The results of the MARPOS Workshop were reported in the project

Deliverable D5.1: Report on the conclusions of the Workshop as well as on

the final project report.
