As the global maritime sector accelerates its efforts to meet ambitious climate targets, the need for knowledge, skills, and practical solutions in decarbonization has never been greater. To support this transition, the DeWaTra – CA23159 Action is organising the short course “Introduction to Decarbonization in Waterborne Transportation”, taking place from 8 to 10 October 2025 at the Congress Centre of Técnico Lisboa. The course will be delivered in a hybrid format, offering both on-site and online participation to ensure broad accessibility.
Dates: 8–10 October 2025
