Helping to share Group Clubs’ expertise and knowledge in maritime services and liability issues across the maritime stakeholder community is a key part of the International Group Strategy. Through the Group’s educational outreach activities to educational establishments with relevant maritime educational programmes around the world, we have begun to engage with the maritime workforce of the future.
Why Education Matters to the International Group
The Education Outreach Working Group at The International Group has been highlighting the importance of education in the maritime sector and providing students with information on the International Group, P&I Clubs and the P&IQ. This initiative is not just about sharing knowledge; it is about fostering connections, nurturing talent, and building bridges between academia and industry.
The collaborative educational outreach activities offered so far by the Group have been well received and a tribute to the collective efforts of all the Group Clubs and our educational partners.
The Group hopes to continue to expand its activity with suitable global educational establishments with a maritime focus, whilst continuing to maintain excellent relationships with the educational establishments we have already connected with. The Group has been delighted to have signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) formalising collaboration with the following institutions to date:
- World Maritime University (WMU)
- Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law (IISTL), University of Swansea
- Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF)
- Dalian Maritime University
- Shanghai Maritime University
- IMO International Maritime Law Institute
- Tulane Law Center, Tulane University
The Group’s Education Outreach Working Group and its Regional Steering Groups in Greece, Hong Kong, Singapore, Scandinavia and New York are continuing to reach out to education establishments globally.
Benefits
The Education Outreach Working Group and Regional Steering Groups aim to expand the Group’s global network in maritime education, create opportunities for collaboration and together with our other industry association partners, build a sustainable future for education within the industry.
