The Organising Team:

ECONSHIP 2011 is organised by the Department of Shipping, Trade and Transport (STT) – University of the Aegean, a multidisciplinary team that includes internationally active maritime economists, transport researchers and a wide and multidisciplinary research spectrum.



Where:

ECONSHIP 2011 will be held on the island of Chios, in Greece. The island offers a unique traditional maritime environment in the heart of the Aegean Sea. This is one among the so-called ‘maritime islands’ due to the origin of one of the largest local pool of ship-owners and seamen, and Greece’s trademark for all too long.



ECONSHIP is endorsed by:

The Greek Ministry of Maritime Affairs; the International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME); the Hellenic Association of Maritime Economists (ΕΝΟΕ); the European Sea Port Organisation (ΕSPO) and WISTA Hellas; Marinews; Naftika Chronika; PortEconomics.eu.
