About this Work Package
This work package establishes the communication strategy that will be implemented during the project’s lifetime. This strategy serves a list of purposes, such as to update the PORTOS’ stakeholders on the project’s outputs, to encourage fruitful debate between all stakeholders, to facilitate the development and dissemination of a roadmap towards energy self-sufficiency and to inform society about the benefits of harnessing renewable energy in ports and the role of the Atlantic Area programme and the PORTOS project in this matter.
This communication framework encompasses several target groups, these being the port system, big, small and medium enterprises, local communities, public administrations, governmental agencies, universities, research centres and scientific organizations
