The final workshop of the Italy-Croatia Interreg project GUTTA took place in Lecce, at the premises of the Fondazione CMCC, on May 4th, 2022. It reviewed the state of the art of maritime decarbonisation from multiple viewpoints: the regulatory institutions, the research and academia, the industry, and an advocacy organisation. It also provided a special focus on the impact of COVID-19 on the maritime sector, and how it may have affected its pathway towards its decarbonisation. The workshop attempted to bring the latest technical advancements to the broadest audience. The speakers were committed to an effort for plain communication, also to foster cross-cutting interactions among them. The workshop was moderated by a television journalist, and several students from local high schools attended it. On this webpage, all presentations, given in person or remotely, are documented through their slides. The abstracts and CV of the speakers are available here, while the integral video recordings available here.
