NMU calls for Participation to the e-Questionnaire Study - IAME 2009 Tickets
to win
 The "Northern Maritime University“ (NMU)
project is building up a transnational network of universities and colleges
in the North Sea
Region (NSR), i.e. Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Norway and UK. The NMU is working
on developing maritime business education qualification offerings which will
reflect the underlying needs of the maritime industries of the region.
In connection with this, a questionnaire study of maritime firms’ and
organisations’ needs is currently being conducted.
We therefore invite all firms or organisations from the maritime industries
of Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Norway and UK to fill out the short e-questionnaire
in English about business-related maritime educational needs found at: www.survey.nm-uni.eu . Members of the “Northern Maritime University” consortium view
inputs from maritime industry stakeholders as especially valuable in relation
to developing courses and educational programmes to meet future needs for maritime
education in the region. To show how valid maritime stakeholders’ contribution
is to us, we will raffle 2 free passes to the International Association of
Maritime Economists’ 2009 Conference (www.iame2009.org) in Copenhagen
in June 2009 among the participants who fill out the short e-questionnaire.
Further questions about the questionnaire study may be addressed to Associate
Professor Maria Anne Wagtmann, Ph.D. (University of Southern Denmark, +45 65
50 15 36 or maw@sam.sdu.dk) or Professor Alf Baird, Ph.D. (Napier University,
+44 131 455 2951 or a.baird@napier.ac.uk).
The NMU Consortium believes that NMU’s multidisciplinary qualification
offerings for the maritime transport industry will benefit greatly from
exploiting the diversity, complementarity and synergies that exist between
maritime expertise and content across the five countries and beyond. The broad
range of knowledge and expertise needs are currently being harnessed, connected
and gathered within a common and lasting network of universities which specifically
and directly addresses the needs of the maritime industry.
Thus, the NMU is working towards establishing a European Area of Research
and Innovation for the maritime industry, contributing towards the Lisbon strategy
to make Europe “the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy
in the world”.
