EMUNI University is organising the international conference “Geopolitics of Transport”, focusing on how global geopolitical developments are reshaping maritime and land transport corridors in the Mediterranean region. The event will examine the impact of alternative trade routes, including developments in the Red Sea and Arctic, on the Mediterranean’s role in global trade.

The conference will bring together policy-makers, transport and logistics professionals, port and rail representatives, researchers, and students to discuss topics such as port competition, rail and hinterland connectivity, EU transport strategies, resilience, sustainability, and the blue economy.

Held as part of the Ocean Literacy Day under the EUNICoast alliance, the event will feature high-level panel discussions and moderated debates. The working language is English, with subtitles planned in several Mediterranean languages.

The event is taking place at EMUNI University in Koper (Capodistria), Slovenia, on 8 June 2026.

Participation is open to all interested stakeholders, with prior registration required.
