The Container Terminal of Leixões sponsors the Annual Iame 2010 Conference from IAME-International Association of Maritime Economists.
The meeting will be held on the 7th, 8th and 9th July, around Lisbon, and will reunite lots of specialists from all over the world.
The central theme of the conference is “The quest for sustainable shipping and port industries”.
The IAME was formally constituted in June 1992. Today it’s an international forum which shares experiences and knowledge on the maritime sector and associated sectors. It counts more than 300 members in 51 countries on the five continents.
The annual conferences are open to non-members, attracting within this segment especially young researchers, university students and newcomers to the sector to which it enables the possibility of interacting with executive staff and more experienced researchers.
The last editions of the Annual Iame Conference were held in Australia (2007), China (2008) and Denmark (2009).
