The Department is proud to announce the program for its next Air Transport Colloquium which will take place on Thursday 4 December 2014. This year you can expect many interesting contributions from top-level academics as well as industry stakeholders on the topic “The European Aviation Business in 2014 and beyond: how to turn challenges into opportunities?”

New to the concept of the 2014 colloquium is that two interactive parallel workshops will be organized: one on air cargo and one on the business positioning of airlines. The workshops will stimulate the exchange of knowledge and discussion between participants. Next to the workshops, the program consists of presentations by experts from academia and the aviation industry. The colloquium concludes with a panel discussion.

So register now for the Air Transport Colloquium 2014!

For more information on the colloquium, you can contact Evy Onghena.

We hope to be able to welcome you at this interesting event!

Final conference on retrofitting of ships with green technologies

‘To retrofit or not to retrofit'    

Dear Sir or Madam,

The FP7 project RETROFIT has developed methods and tools to assist ship owners throughout their decision making process. On January 20th, 2015 project RETROFIT results will be presented in a final conference with workshops. During this event simulation tools for technical and economic evaluation of retrofitting will be demonstrated:

- Voyage and energy systems simulation

- Technology choices and options

- Process support: reverse technology and process simulation

- Economic aspects of green retrofitting

The conference/workshops will further include interactive parallel sessions with small groups, testimonies from real practice and a moderated session and panel discussion.  

Retrofitting ships with green technologies is an actual challenge for ship owners having to comply amongst others with new emission regulations, for example the January 1st 2015 SECA regulation. The choice of suitable green technologies, the resulting energy and emission performance and the expected costs versus the benefits are important issues for the ship owner decision.
