PIANC Mediterranean Days in Palermo, Italy – 1st Edition

‘Mediterranean Sea, port of the History, port of the World’

October 7-9, 2008

  • The basic idea was to organise, for the first time, a PIANC regional conference related to topics and items of the Mediterranean area. The initiative fits well in the general strategy of PIANC.
  • At the PIANC AGA meeting in 2005, among the National Sections of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, the formal decision was made by the Italian Section of PIANC to act as a host country for the first edition of this event.

MAIN GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

To enhance the development of a common technical culture in the area of the Mediterranean Sea in the field of coastal and port engineering, taking into account the necessity of elaborating new strategies to face properly the new challenges of the global market, without neglecting environmental and social issues, in the light of sustainable development.

Also, historical heritage and marine and coastal ecosystems assume a very significant value for Med Countries, so that a correct point of balance must be found with infrastructural needs.

A general increased awareness of common values and items of Med Countries can play a positive role in an integrated strategic approach in the above mentioned field.
