The Smart Ports Chair Awards, organized by Universitat Jaume I and PortCastelló, recognize outstanding research in smart port innovation. During the award ceremony, the President of the Port Authority of Castelló, Rubén Ibáñez, highlighted the strategic alliance between the university and the port as a commitment to knowledge and technological progress. He emphasized that the awarded projects contribute directly to improving port efficiency and sustainability, aligning with industry needs and advancing digitalization. The event also underscored the role of research in shaping the future of port management, reinforcing Castelló’s ambition to be a leader in this transformation.

This year’s winners presented groundbreaking work in port operations, climate risk assessment, and intelligent traffic management. Eva Romano received the Best Doctoral Thesis Award for her machine-learning model to optimize port operability. Fernando Manzano won the Best Master's Thesis Award for his research on extreme weather event characterization and risk mitigation at the Port of Valencia. Iván Monzón was awarded the Best Bachelor's Thesis Award for developing a smart dashboard to optimize traffic routes at the Port of Rotterdam. Their contributions demonstrate how innovation and collaboration between academia and industry drive the evolution of smart ports.
