Invitation
International Seminar Maritime Education!!!
On the 22nd of April 2009 the first seminar of the Maritime Education Platform (MEP) was organized by the STC-Group in Rotterdam. On the 28th of October 2009 we had the second successful edition. The MEP is a project-based cooperation between six maritime educational institutes from 6 different countries: Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Romania and the Netherlands (STC-Group). This platform, which is sponsored by the Life Long Learning Program of the European Commission, develops e-learning modules for maritime lecturers. The content of the modules is based on the key question of the platform: “What does the sector need?” Furthermore, the MEP will function as a starting point for further cooperation between maritime educational institutes in Europe.
During the first two seminars the following modules were presented:
- “International Ship and Port facility Security code”;
- “Automatic Identification Systems”;
- “Ocean Towing and Related Matters”;
- “Aids to Navigation”;
- “Atmospheric Emissions and Externalities of Shipping”;
- “Developments in Global Navigation Satellite Systems”;
- “Ship Stability”.
These modules are currently present at our e-learning platform Dokeos, which is available on our website. Registration for Dokeos is necessary.
On the 20th of April 2010, the STC-Group in Rotterdam will organize the third seminar. During this seminar, the following topics will be presented:
1) Utu Turku, Finland: “Maritime Policy”
2) STC-Group, the Netherlands: “Modern Marine Propulsion”
3) NMCI, Ireland: “The use of LNG as an energy source for ships”
