Title
Creating new paths: the conversion and diversification of North Sea ports.
Description
My research project is investigating how port authorities and associated local institutions deploy the unique territorial assets of ports and connected infrastructures to seize new market opportunities. The research project undertakes an international comparative analysis of North Sea Ports diversifying into Europe’s burgeoning offshore wind market. The research project is situated in the vibrant sub-field of evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and seeks to contribute to debates on local and regional path creation, referring to the growth of new economic activities. I’m working in collaboration with the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
