The Project Promoter is Constanta Maritime University with Ålesund Knowledge Park (Norway) as the main Partner. The project aims at increasing the competitiveness and potential for wider co-operation of the maritime sector in Romania through the development and implementation of maritime incubator activities and of joint education and research programmes. Three other Norwegian and Romanian institutions will bring their contribution to the project as implementation partners: Ålesund University College (Ålesund), Sivatech AS (Trondheim) and the Naval Academy of Constanta.
“With a financial volume of € 4,7 mill. – of which the Norwegian Government’s contribution represents €4 mill. – this is the 2nd biggest project under the bilateral co-operation programme between our two countries. As far as I understand it is also one of the biggest integrated projects Romania has entered into with other countries in the maritime field – covering business development, education and research activities, all under one bilateral umbrella” stated Ambassador Øystein Hovdkinn.
Presentations of the project and of the importance of the project for the Romanian maritime education and maritime business community were offered by the representatives of the main partners, namely Prof. Dr. Cornel Panait, Rector of Constanta Maritime University, and Mr. Per Erik Dalen, General Manager of Ålesund Knowledge Park, as well as by representatives of all the implementation partners.
