Maritime Center at DTU - objectives

Industry University

StudentAuthorities

• Support the recommendations of the "Growth Plan for the Blue Denmark“

• Focus on interdisciplinary research and education• Strengthen innovation and cooperation with the industry• Strengthen interdisciplinarity and cooperation between the

departments at DTU• Strengthen cooperation with other universities

DTU


• Strong support and initiative from management at DTU• All relevant researchers and teachers at DTU are invited• DTU Mechanical Engineering is hosting center• Steering committee consisting of head of department from

DTU Mechanical Engineering, DTU Transport and DTU Management Engineering

• A professor from each of these departments represent the scientific activities

• Recruitment of Head of center ongoing

DTU Maritime – Organisation


DTU Maritime – Need for education• Survey in 2011 (ATV and the Danish

Maritime Fund) prepared by a working group consisting of representatives of industry and universities

• There is a lack of engineers in the Danish maritime sector!

• There is a need for a combination of classic and new skills in an inter-disciplinary and practice-oriented approach


New study plans in Maritime Technology:• BEng, BSc, MSc in Mechanical Engineering• New study line in maritime logistics in the MSc education in

Transportation and Logistics• Special courses in e.g. arctic operation

New Initiatives in Education - 1

New graduate course in Green Transportation Logistics (DTU Transport)


• Nordic Master in Maritime Engineering (accredit MSc education in cooperation with the universities in Nordic Five Tech)

New Initiatives in Education - 2

The Nordic Five Tech is a strategic alliance between the five strongest technical universities in the Nordic region, with partners in Denmark (DTU)Sweden (KTH and Chalmers) Norway (NTNU) Finland (Aalto University)
