SKEMA PROJECT - Interactive Knowledge Platform for Maritime Transport and Logistics


SKEMA is a three year project funded by the European Commission - DGTREN under the Seventh Framework Programme. It is aimed at establishing a Sustainable Knowledge Platform for the use of stakeholders in the Maritime Transport & Logistics industry.

The SKEMA Knowledge Platform will contain a Knowledge Base that will be populated by project Studies and outputs from workshops and case studies addressing key challenges for the European maritime transport and logistics industry. The Studies will be constructed to facilitate improved usability and accessibility of valuable results from previous projects, studies & publications.

SKEMA will:

facilitate the exchange of information amongst stakeholders in the European maritime transport and logistics industry, raise awareness of relevant research, provide overview and detailed information on current technologies and best practices at European, regional and national levels;

assist in the recognition of obstacles that hinder the implementation of European policies and in proposing and assessing solutions;

providing base material that will help in the formulation of advice on various policy initiatives, such as legislation, (including simplification), standardisation, research, networking and co-operation between administrations.
