The NMU Network Conference

21st June 2012 / Speicher XI, Überseestadt Bremen, Germany 


Innovation in maritime education and training – this has been the primary motivation in putting altogether the members and stakeholders of the NMU network to pursue a project that has been running for more than three years now.  Acknowledging the lack of adequately trained personnel in the maritime sector, the NMU's central objective is to establish a sustainable collaboration between industry and educational institutions to enhance the innovation capacity of the maritime industry.  The NMU conference is the venue where topics relevant to the successful collaboration within the NMU Network are presented and discussed.


The focus on “Innovation in Maritime Education” at the NMU conference brings diverse speakers to share their ideas and perspectives in “Competence development for academics and maritime industry” and in “Enhancing the attractiveness of careers in the maritime industry.”  A panel discussion is lined up to showcase the significance of the collaboration within the NMU Network to the need for innovation in maritime education and training.  The NMU conference is the setting for collaborative discussion between leading academic institutions involved in maritime education and training, and the stakeholders in the maritime sector.


Keynote speakers and discussion panelists at the NMU conference include: 

The NMU network conference is moderated by Thomas Pawlik of Bremen University of Applied Sciences and by Jens Froese of Jacobs University Bremen.
