Conference: The novel <strong>of</strong> the Italian Risorgimento<br />

Vrije Universiteit Brussel<br />

Abstract: International congres entitled « Il romanzo del Risorgimento » organised by:<br />

- Université libre de Bruxelles<br />

- Vrije Universiteit Brussel<br />

- Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Bruxelles<br />

Italian unification (Italian: il Risorgimento [risord?i?mento], meaning The Resurgence) was the political and social movement that agglomerated<br />

different states <strong>of</strong> the Italian peninsula into the single state <strong>of</strong> Italy in the 19th century. Despite a lack <strong>of</strong> consensus on the exact dates for the<br />

beginning and end <strong>of</strong> this period, many scholars agree that the process began in 1815 with the Congress <strong>of</strong> Vienna and the end <strong>of</strong> Napoleonic rule,<br />

and ended in 1871 with the Franco-Prussian War[1][2]. The last città irredente however, did not join the Kingdom <strong>of</strong> Italy until after World War I.<br />

The Conference intends to deepen, thanks to the contributions <strong>of</strong> twenty students <strong>of</strong> French, Dutch and Italian literature, in the relations between<br />

Italian and European intellectuals <strong>of</strong> the 19th century and the different phases <strong>of</strong> the process <strong>of</strong> unification.<br />

Production <strong>of</strong> a report on Maritime Transport Market with emphasis on ports highlighting market characteristics and<br />

strategies.<br />

University <strong>of</strong> Antwerp<br />

Abstract: The aim <strong>of</strong> this contribution is to identify and analyze a number <strong>of</strong> critical issues in the port and maritime business for the future decades.<br />

It is clear that the sector is facing a number <strong>of</strong> big challenges, emanating from worldwide economic changes, social evolutions and environmental<br />

awareness. These changes stem from inside as well as from outside the sector. It is important to get grip on what these changing characteristics<br />

are, how structural they are, how important their impact is, and what factors are causing or triggering them.<br />

<strong>Research</strong> in the frame <strong>of</strong> this paper has led to six future key issues:<br />

- The changing relationship between maritime and port activity and international trade<br />

- The role <strong>of</strong> actor strategies and interests in port competitiveness<br />

- The increasing stress on port hinterland connections<br />

- The growing intertwinedness and integration <strong>of</strong> maritime and port-related companies<br />

- Concessions as remaining port authority tools<br />

- Increasing opportunities and potential <strong>of</strong> inter-port co-operation<br />
