Final Event

6 July 2010

Square Brussels Meeting Centre

EWITA is a co-funded project in the Marco Polo II programme of the European Commission. It has developed two e-platforms for inland navigation trainings:

for the Danube corridor

for the Rhine-Maas-Schelde corridor

The encouragement of life-long learning in the inland navigation sector, as stressed in the NAIADES action programme and the success of the predecessor project eWIT within the Marco Polo I Programme have showed the need to establish eLearning platforms on Intermodal Inland Navigation for other European regions.

Members of the Industrial and of the Educational User Forum have given their feedback on the relevance of the content for the target groups and have guaranteed a proper testing of the two INeS platforms in terms of their learning abilities.Check our projects’ section for more information.

We have the pleasure to invite you to the conference and the networking cooktail to present the final achievements of the project*.

The meeting will be held in the new SQUARE Brussels Congress Centre, an architectural landmark in the vibrant Mont des Arts cultural quarter, in the heart of the city and right in front of the central station.

Logitrans Transports Logistics Fair

4 -6 November 2010

Istanbul Expo Center , Turkey

Intending to revive losses and create new communications, Eko Fair Company organizes the 4th Logitrans Transport Logistic Fair that brings manufacturers, sellers and service providers from leading Turkish and European transport, logistics and commercial vehicles industries at one place.

Playing even greater role in the Global Economics every passing year, Turkey moves non-stop forward by successfully handling its foreign trade activities. Income of over 240 billion US dollars from exports and imports in 2009, likewise gave way to strengthen business framework towards a global market in 2010. However, the past and recent economic crisis on the globe almost ruined the business of even strongest players all over the world.

Taking into consideration that more than 125 billion US dollars value of import and some 92 billion US dollars value of export transports were operated from/ to Turkey in 2009, it is clear that Turkish transport and logistics market continues to grow rapidly. With this picture the importance of alliances and partnerships at national and international platform become more critical. Fairs are the most appropriate and accurate platforms for beginning cooperation and partnerships.

EIA is supporting and participating on the fair.
