BACKGROUNDS aims at developing a governance model involving ports and port infrastructures within the Mediterranean basin and targeting a better integration of existing poles with their own territories and the relevant productive clusters. This would lead to an appreciation of local peculiarities within the general framework of the global market.

What do BACKGROUNDS hope to gain?

BACKGROUNDS aims at developing a governance model involving ports and port infrastructures within the Mediterranean basin and targeting a better integration of existing poles (small and medium hubs as well as larger ones) with their own territories and the relevant productive clusters. This would lead to an appreciation of local peculiarities within the general framework of the global market. The project aims at providing efficient tools to face functional, operational and organizational problems related to the traffic of goods and passengers in port regions. These instruments should reduce roads congestions through the implementation of a common communication protocol.
