International Environment Day. Conference "The energy transition of ports: improving their environmental integration"

As part of the PORTOS project (Ports towards energy self-sufficiency), funded by the European Interreg Atlantic Area call, the Port of Vigo invites you to a Conference to delve into the energy transition of ports and the improvement of their environmental integration.

The conference, open to the public, will take place on June 5th at 10:00 a.m. in the Sessions Building of the Port Authority of Vigo (you can check the full agenda HERE). 

To attend, registration is required through the following linkhttps://forms.gle/PcRL6cnQTjuc7e7x7 

Visits to the Underwater Observatory

Furthermore, we continue to discover what lies beneath the waters of the Port of Vigo. Until June 15th, Nautilus will keep its doors open for you to learn more about the daily life of the Port of Vigo, the projects it is working on, and the life that inhabits its waters.

Visits to the underwater observatory are guided, completely free, and have an approximate duration of 30 minutes. They are intended for school groups and collectives (by reservation) as well as the general public (without reservation), according to the following days and hours:

School groups: Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The HYDEA project, which is funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area 2021-2027 programme, was set up to boost the hydrogen transition in the Atlantic Area ports. During the second year of the project, the 10 members of the consortium committed into structuring methods that will enable the development of valuable tools such as action plans for ports and a decision-making tool based on real case studies. HYDEA partners have also launched three calls to provide access to their experimental facilities and expertise to support the development and testing of pre-commercial, innovative technologies.
