On October 1st there was a Maritime Business Expert Panel at University of Applied Sciences Bremen in order to define key concepts for future strategies within maritime research and education. 15 members from the NMU stakeholder group took part and identified key concepts for maritime transport which can contribute to economic competitiveness. Furthermore, they discussed the protection of the maritime environment and analysed challenges and possibilities for the maritime transport industry - both on a short and long termed basis.

The NMU partner University of Southern Denmark (SDU) has developed the Maritime Business Expert Panel as a tool to discuss education and competence needs in the maritime industry in the partner countries, anno 2020. The Maritime Business Expert Panel has been held in Scotland, Denmark and now in Germany, enabling NMU partners to engage in a trans-national dialogue with the maritime industry in The North Sea Region. These discussions allow NMU partners to develop special education modules for the maritime industry.
