  • BACKGROUND

    MAREDFlow is a project funded under the DG Research Regions of
    Knowledge pilot programme. Its overall aim is, therefore, to enhance the
    knowledge bases of the participating regions. The specific aim of
    MAREDFlow is to promote the exchange of transport logistics domain
    knowledge in and between five AMRIE maritime regions, with a view to
    enhancing their economic development.

  • OBJECTIVES

    The objectives of MAREDFlow are:
    1. To develop the novel concept of ‘knowledge development maps’ (KDMs)
    as a useful tool for transferring usable sector knowledge between
    creators and users of knowledge within regions.
    2. To explore the sectoral requirements for effective knowledge transfer
    between regions.
    3. To improve the knowledge bases in the transport logistics sector within
    the participating maritime regions as a mechanism for enhancing
    regional economic development.
    4. To enhance the development of the RTD capabilities of the participating
    regions utilising the KDMs.
    5. To attempt to develop a technique for knowledge transfer which can be
    applied to all regions.
