Crafting The Integrative Value Proposition For Large Scale Transport Infrastructure Hubs - Google Books
He teaches management courses in international programs at the Institute of Transport and Maritime Management (ITMMA) in Antwerp as well as the Erasmus University Rotterdam, where he is the coordinator of the port economics and policy module of the MEL programme, organized in cooperation with the Port of Rotterdam.
He has worked as a project manager and researcher on several research and consulting projects, which need a multi-disciplinary (integration of technical, economic and environmental criteria) and multi-stakeholder (public and private sector, local communities) approach. Examples in the port sector are the Master plan 2015 for the Port of Brussels, the Economic Development Studies 2030 for the Port of Antwerp and the Port of Zeebrugge, studies on port finance and charging for the European Commission, transnational Interreg studies such as the development of a vision for the canal zone Ghent-Terneuzen, the development of a toolkit for measuring socio-economic impacts for Channel ports in Belgium, France and the UK (IMPACTE) and the development of intermodal rail services for Channel ports in Belgium, France and the UK (FINESSE). Based on these projects, a large number of papers have been written, treating aspects of strategic management applied to ports (including green portfolio analysis), stakeholder management applied to ports, port strategic planning, finance and investment in ports and socio-economic impacts of port activity.
In the field of strategic management and organizational development, he was also closely involved in the development of a strategic plan for the Belgian rail infrastructure manager Infrabel. In the airport sector, he was responsible for the socio-economic and strategic evaluation of the DHL hub expansion project at Brussels National Airport.

George Vaggelas is an Advisor to the President and CEO of Thessaloniki Port Authority S.A. He is also an Adjunct Lecturer and Research Fellow at the Jean Monnet programme in European Port Policy (EPP) at the Department of Shipping, Trade and Transport of the University of the Aegean, Greece. He has previously been a PENED Research Fellow at the same Department, where he successfully completed his PhD Thesis in May 2008, as well as an Adjunct Lecturer in 2009.
George's PhD thesis examines the interface of the public and private sectors involvement in the port sector. The research has been financed by the Greek Ministry of Development, the Port of Piraeus SA, and the Organisation for Public Transport in Athens (OASA). George has also contributed as a Teaching Assistant (TA), to the undergraduate and programme of the Department.
A specialist in passenger ports, George has authored several papers published in international scientific journals and international conferences examining seaport economics and politics of seaports. These papers examine issues such as the relations between the public and private sector in the passenger ports, the development of applied methods for the quantification and the allocation of the benefits produced by the provision of port services. He has also been involved in European and national projects examining the port and maritime industries, and has participated in various seminars examining issues such as intermodality, transport industry development and public private partnerships applications in ports.

He has been Fulbright Maritime Transportation Scholar post at the Centre for Energy, Marine Transportation and Public Policy (CEMTPP), Columbia University, New York, US where he was a Scholar in the academic year 2008-9.
His research and teaching interests include port economics and policy; (maritime) transport policies and governance; and the applications of EU microeconomic and industrial organisation policies in the maritime transport sector.
A regular contributor at the OECD, UNCTAD, and ESPO (European Seaport Organization) discussions regarding the shaping of the port sector, he has participated in research teams advising the European Commission and the government of Canada on port performance and benchmarks. In 2008 he led a research on port concessions that won the "Maritime Economics & Logistics Best Paper Award, 2008". He won the "Best European Study 1999" Competition, organised by the European Community Studies Association (ECSA). In 2007 he celebrated the publication of Maritime Transport: The Greek Paradigm, published by Elsevier in the distinguished Research in Transport Economics series. Previously published books or monographs examine the European Port Policy (published in English, Japanese, and Greek) and the Common EU Maritime Transport Policy (published in English and Greek). His work has been cited in the international literature over 400 times, and acknowledged, by the European Parliament and reviews of the most important studies in the field of port economics and policy.
He has (co)authored 40 journal papers, 9 books, 13 book chapters, and presented over 100 peer reviewed papers in international scientific conferences, and was a keynote speaker/session chairman at professional and scientific conferences. Dr. Pallis has also been involved in several research projects and consultancy studies and examining the structures of the European port industry and other maritime topics.
