IMPLEMENTATIONS
Map logistical expertise: Nord-Pas de Calais
๏ Departure base: Atlas Logistique du Nord-Pas de Calais
๏ Additional (WIP) : identify and list researchers
CONCLUSION
POM WVL and Euralogistic: similar effect => similar ambitions similar objective
But:
๏ no ‘formal’ partnership in Tandem
๏ no knowledge institutes => cross-border collaboration between knowledge institutes via
‘interim stage’
๏ still (a great deal of) work to be done!
