By facilitating collaboration and cooperation, POSEIDON seeks to enhance transparency, integrity, and responsibility within the port sector.
The workshop provided an excellent platform to discuss the prevailing issues related to corruption at the European level. It was an opportunity for attendees to engage in meaningful conversations, share insights, and explore new methodologies to combat corruption effectively. The conclusion of the event featured a stimulating discussion on the emerging challenges associated with corruption, further emphasizing the importance of initiatives like POSEIDON.
POSEIDON project aims to work towards a corruption-free port sector, promoting cooperation and implementation of best practices in the ongoing fight against corruption.
