The World Maritime University is hosting an international symposium focused on Maritime & Oceans Education and Training (MET) in its new home in Malmo, Sweden (19-20 May). IMO senior staff in attendance will be discussing a variety of topics covering contemporary challenges for the maritime community, scenarios for the future, and optimum responses for all sectors of the industry. The conference will ultimately reaffirm the importance of maritime education and training in underpinning the sustainable use of the maritime world. Maritime Education and Training is the theme for this year’s World Maritime Day.
