This 4-day executive program offers a unique overview of port labor management models in Europe, focusing on the institutional, legal, and operational frameworks that define how port workforces are organized, represented, and governed in Portugal, Spain, and Belgium.

Through case studies, expert-led sessions, and site visits, participants will explore:

• The evolution of port labor systems and social dialogue mechanisms.
• Regulatory and contractual frameworks shaping employment relations in ports.
• The balance between competitiveness, safety, and labor rights.
• Best practices in workforce modernization, digitalization, and decarbonization contexts.

Designed for port authority managers, terminal operators, policymakers, and labor representatives, the program provides comparative insights and actionable strategies to strengthen efficiency and social sustainability in port labor relations.
