From 5 to 9 January 2026, the PIM DEMAR programme offered 16 students an immersive experience into the scientific, technical and socio-economic challenges of decarbonising maritime transport: a key sector of international trade and a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of carbon neutrality targets, the project aimed to examine the systemic transformations required and the trade-offs between technical, regulatory and economic constraints.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised over five intensive days, the programme was based on a case study focused on Asia\u2013Europe shipping routes. Working in small groups, students analysed the current state of the sector, identified key stakeholders and constraints, and explored alternative future scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on international container transport, they mapped and assessed decarbonisation strategies in the short, medium and long term. These included considerations ranging from energy systems to port infrastructure development and the characterisation of major maritime routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme alternated between analysis phases, modelling work and multi-criteria evaluation integrating environmental, economic, legal and logistical dimensions. Contributions from researchers and maritime professionals further enriched the discussions and grounded the work in real-world challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
