GRENDEL: Know-How Transfer Event successfully organised

Following the success story of the previous edition organised in March 2019, this year's Know-How Transfer Event for the Modernisation of the Danube Fleet brought together representatives of the European Commission, international organisations, IWT stakeholders, as well as innovation experts and suppliers to debate on available technologies which have the potential to pave the way towards climate neutrality by 2050, as foreseen by the European Green Deal. Innovative technologies that address the challenges set by the NRMM Regulation were among the highlights of the event. With energy efficiency and carbon neutrality having a prominent role on the European policy agenda, adapting the outdated Danube fleet to the needs and requirements of a future oriented transport system is an endeavor that must go beyond borders.

The online event, organised by GRENDEL in cooperation with INDanube and hosted by the Danube Commission, resulted in fruitful discussions and information exchanges between technology providers and IWT stakeholders. 

Presentations are available for download on: www.interreg-danube.eu/grendel
