PortEconomics.gr is a web-based initiative aiming to advance knowledge exchange on seaport studies. Developed by the Research in Port Economics and Policy(REPEP)Group, it provides freely accessible research, education and network-building material on critical issues of port economics, management and policies.
REPEPmembers also collaborate with an extensive international network of academics interested in seaport studies and research in Europe, N. America and Asia. These activities have resulted in an extensive list of relevant publications, that are available via this website.
The main objectives of thePortEconomics.gr initiative are:
To disseminate the activities and research output of the members of REPER by providing open access to the research and analysis contacted by the group’s members;
To establish and foster a knowledge exchange network of scholars, policymakers, practitioners and students interested in port issues; and
To develop and promote relevant resources for increased port studies.
