IAME 2018 Conference – Thank you Mombasa for a great event
The International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME) community would like to thank Vrije Universiteit Brussels, the chair of the organising Committee Michael Dooms and all members of the Organising committee of IAME 2018, for organising a most successful edition of the IAME Annual Conference.
IAME would also like to thank Kenya Port Authority, Port Management Association of Eastern and Southern Africa, Kenya Maritime Authority, Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), University of Nairobi and Moi University, for their contribution to the excellent organisation of our annual flagship event.
Being the first ever Conference in Africa, IAME 2018 in Mombasa, Kenya was a historical moment for our Association. We are all confident that – given the quality of the event and the regional and global interest of maritime economists – this is the first of many IAME events to be held in the continent.
