Within the framework of the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Poland is a leader of a flagship project “Create a network of centres of excellence for maritime training”.

This flagship project called “Create a network of centres of excellence for maritime training” was establishedto provide young people attractive prospects for a long life career in maritime enterprises / professions and facilitate mobility between sea and land based jobs. As well as upgrading competences to adapt requirements to today’s shipping industry.

Ministry of Infrastructure, Department of Maritime Transport and Inland Navigation together with Maritime University in Szczecin and Maritime University in Gdynia has already started working on this project and invited administrations and maritime universities to cooperation. Bearing in mind that maritime education and career in the maritime sector is one of the aims of Integrated Maritime Policy and the Strategy for the Maritime Transport until 2018 we would like to involve in this project also employers, maritime training centers and all stakeholders who may be interested in developing European network of maritime education centers.

The aim of the project is to create a network of cooperating academies and centres of maritime training, supported by representatives of maritime transport and industry, which could deliver teaching and qualification that correspond to the industry's needs and expectations.

Therefore we would like to invite representatives from maritime administrations and training centres as well as interested stakeholders to the 2nd International Seminar Create a Network of Centers of Excellence for Maritime Training.

The planned conference will take place on 20th of May in Gdynia at the Maritime University.
