Stakeholder identification and mapping in peripheral European inland waterway ecosystems

Abstract As a result of the increasing need to accomplish a modal shift from road transportation towards inland waterway transport (IWT) and railway transport (RWT) to reduce congestion and emissions in Europe, many technologies and innovations are being created and implemented to establish more efficient and resilient IWT and RWT and achieve the desired modal shift. This research focuses on the increasing need for improvements in IWT in different parts of the European network to increase the qu
