A project idea came as a result of past cooperation of Maritime Faculty and business sector and their joint recognitions of improvement possibilities for the knowledge transfer in the maritime industry.

Bearing in mind advantages of a dual educational system and a need for closer cooperation between educational and business organizations, Maritime Faculty, has initiated a communication with the “Invar-Ivoševic Ltd” and “Institute for transportation” SMEs. Representatives of defined target groups (students, teaching staff of Maritime Faculty, representatives of involved SME companies, National Maritime Safety institutions and related Ministries) have participated in the final definition of the project proposal and at the same time they accepted the ownership on a project idea. Specific target group of this project represents students of the Maritime Faculty who after graduating could work in the mentioned SME sector and they expressed their needs in better connection with educational and business sectors what would increase their chances to get employment and not to migrate to other regions or to be employed out of maritime sector.

Bearing in mind the facts related to the additional improvement possibilities in the maritime sector especially in capacity building possibilities we have recognized “Improvement of knowledge transfer between academic and private sector in Maritime industry of Montenegro” related activities, what represents the specific objective of the planned action.
