Le Havre-Normandie University signs a partnership with the Port Center

Anchored in its territory, the University of Le Havre-Normandie carries out its higher education and research missions in strong resonance with the economic, cultural, social and political issues of the Le Havre basin. Le Havre, a true ecosystem open to the world, is crossed by maritime and port questions which invite scientific expertise to promote their overall understanding.

In this context, the partnership between Le Havre Normandy University and Le Havre Port Center is marked by a desire for cooperation around this inter-knowledge of issues related to the notion of “Smart Port City” and will enrich practices and shared knowledge with the support of a promotion and mediation program common to both structures and open to the general public.

The Havre Port Center is a dynamic player which aims to constitute, in Le Havre, a “place of education, interpretation and meetings allowing all audiences to discover the port environment and culture”.

The programming of partnership activities between the two structures must therefore allow:

• to increase the visibility of the research activities of the ULHN laboratories on maritime, port, logistics, risk management themes,
• to contribute to the organization of dissemination conferences for citizens but also socio-economic partners,
• to participate in the recognition of the University of Le Havre-Normandie as a player in research and innovation serving its territory,
• to produce actions to mediate scientific activities produced by the University of Le Havre Normandy for varied audiences and all ages.
