APBA and the Algeciras Technological Campus Foundation (FCTA) held the third edition of the ‘Algeciras Brain Port’ port-innovation awards in October, an initiative aimed at recognising the talent and contribution to the Port of innovative initiatives, created by university students or researchers, dealing with various aspects related to the port-logistics business.
Just like the previous edition, the award is broken down into two categories. On the one hand, the best Final Master’s Project will be recognised, with an award valued at €1,200 and a paid six-month fellowship at APBA. And, on the other hand, the best Final Bachelor’s Project, with a full scholarship to study one of the official Master’s degrees offered at the University of Cádiz: Port and Logistics Management, Civil Engineering or Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency.
The assessment criteria include the extent to which these projects align with the works carried out as part of the innovation strategy and with the current challenges faced by the Port of Algeciras Bay, the impact on competitive advantage, the innovative proposal’s degree of novelty, its technical and/or technological viability and, finally, the quality of the works presented.
The projects will be assessed by a Jury made up of seven prestigious members from the field of port-logistics innovation, both professional and academic, who will select a single winning proposal per category, to be announced and delivered in a public ceremony.
The participation and presentation requirements for the projects can be found in the rules published on the APBA Innovation web portal (https://innovacion.apba.es/premios-innovacion/), with submissions closing on 20 October 2022 (inclusive).
