We hope that stay in Odessa will be retained in the minds of the IAMUS program participants for a long time.

Educational base of the Academy and training ship "DRUZHBA" will be fully employed for holding the students’ program. The name of our sailing ship "DRUZHBA" is translated into English as FRIENDSHIP. The IAMUS program will be conducted under the motto "One Earth – one crew". During these few days we will try to create one unanimous multi-national crew of the new generation.

Within the course of the IAMUS program the best virtual navigational watch on the bridge, as well as the best virtual engineering watch will be determined. Also all IAMUS participants will undergo courses for Maritime English knowledge. During the program we will utilize full-mission bridge simulators "TRANSAS", full-mission engine room simulator "NORCONTROL" and multimedia English lab.
