Message from the Chairman

|
| |
| On behalf of
Cargo Edições Lda, I am honoured to invite Members, Non-Members and Friends of IAME belonging to academia, industry, international
organizations and governments to participate in the
International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME) Annual Conference
that is taking place in July 7-9,
2010, in
Lisbon,
Portugal.
This Conference builds upon the success
of the previous ones that have been held on an annual basis around the world
since 1997, even though the first two were both held in 1994.
IAME was
formally created in June 1992 at a conference
on Current Issues in Maritime Economics that took place at Erasmus University
Rotterdam. The Founding Committee comprised by Richard Goss, Henk Molenaar,
Hercules Haralambides, Trevor Heaver, Roy Humphrey and Tor Wergeland drafted
the IAME Constitution and undertook the preparatory work that formally
established IAME. Its first general assembly took place in
Lyon,
France,
in 1992 and the Association elected an International Council to guide its
affairs between the required biennial business meetings.
Today, IAME is an international forum
for the exchange of research and information among those interested in
maritime and maritime-related issues. The Association has over 300 members from 51 countries located in all
continents. Through its
Conferences, Members, Non-Members and Friends of IAME have
the possibility to interact at an international level, being a particular
valuable event for young researchers, students and newcomers to the
industry since it provides the opportunity to interact with more senior and
experienced researchers and practitioners.
Given the
international character of the business, IAME Conferences are organized every
year in a different country in order to allow the interaction of knowledge at
a regional and international level. For the last nine years, the Conferences
were hosted in
Italy
(2000), Hong Kong (2001),
Panama
(2002),
Korea
(2003),
Turkey
(2004),
Cyprus
(2005),
Australia
(2006),
Greece
(2007), and
China
(2008). In 2009 the
Conference to take place in
Denmark.
These Conferences
cover the numerous areas related to the shipping and port industries such as
shipping and port economics, shipping and port finance, maritime and port
policies, and last but not the least logistics. The outcome of this work is
published in the Conference Proceedings and some of it in the well-known
international journals related to the subjects under study: the Maritime
Policy and Management and Maritime Economics and Logistics.
The climate
changes that have been taking place for the last couple of years make us
wonder about the future role that the shipping industry will play. In this
regard, the development of sustainable shipping is of utmost importance to
the planet. This environmental background and the economic changes that led
to the globalization of the world economy has fostered the theme of the 2010
Annual Conference of the International Association of Maritime Economists
(IAME) to be “The quest for sustainable shipping and port industries”.
While the
word ‘sustainable’ is part of today’s vocabulary, the way it is to be applied
to the shipping, ports and logistics industries is not easy as it requires a multi-disciplinary
approach. In this regard, numerous topics and sub-topics have been identified
to meet this objective and any gap left is more than welcomed to be addressed
in the 2010 IAME Annual Conference. Progress in this field, requires the
exchange of ideas and concepts at the most fundamental level.
The
scientific program of the conference will follow the traditional layout of
the previous ones. Apart from the working sessions, there will always be
opportunity for people to get together, to exploit networking opportunities,
and eventually, to relax after an intensive working year.
We believe
that the Lisbon Conference will be one more successful IAME conference, and
so we welcome the International Community to take part in it, to discuss and
suggest solutions that will contribute to a more sustainable industry and
eventually to a more sustainable planet.
Bem-vindo
a Lisboa, Portugal
