Student Forum
The IAMU Student Forum provides an opportunity for the next generation of maritime industry leaders to connect and collaborate with world-leading researchers, educators and experts from the maritime industry as well as students from all over the world.
The forum consists of a 2-day workshop and 1-day technical tour. Over the first two days of the forum, students worked under the supervision of their group facilitators to identify the underlying issues at the heart of each given topic, while also coming up with unique suggestions and solutions for dealing with them.
On the final day of the forum, the participants visited IMO Headquarters to widen their perspectives and knowledge by learning about maritime history and being exposed to different values.
The IAMU Student Forum was a global event in every sense.
Our cadets took part in all IAMU Students Forum.
