Reducing Green House Gas Emissions on a Global Scale

“NextGEN Connect” aims to present scenario-based problem statements derived from NextGEN stakeholders and data collected from the NextGEN database. Through launching a “Call for Proposals” that will be open to industry, academia and global research centres, NextGEN Connect will bring different stakeholders together to offer solutions for inclusive maritime decarbonisation.
