Cooperation between WIMiO and Seatech Engineering. Another agreement signed | Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology at the Gdańsk University of Technology

The agreement on cooperation has been concluded as part of future personnel training process for the maritime industry under the 2nd degree program Naval Architecture & Offshore Structures within the new “study and work” formula. Recruitment has just started.

- The new “study and work” idea is a combination of studies run in English and professional work or research, with doctoral program in longer perspective, said Prof. Wojciech Litwin, director of the Shipbuilding Institute.

Career and development

As Prof. Mariusz Deja points out, cooperation with Seatech Engineering is extremely important.

- The agreement will contribute to career development while still being a student, open up new opportunities on thesis topics, and help organize internships, notes the dean.

Graduates of shipbuilding studies are in demand on the labor market - in Poland and abroad. With their knowledge of English and practical skills, they can work in design, production or repair companies in the maritime and related industries.

Agreement

Cooperation between Gdańsk University of Technology and one of the leading design offices in Poland is crucial for the development of staff needed in the intensively growing maritime and shipbuilding sector.

- With the goal of educating graduates who are prepared for real challenges of the industry, cooperation between business and academia is extremely important, in order to properly target education on competence currently required on the market. As a design office implementing ship designs all over the world, we want to share our knowledge and experience in order to create together a strong potential of the maritime industry ready to meet ambitious projects and changing needs, notes Mariusz Czajkowski, Vice President of the Board, signing the agreement on behalf of Seatech Engineering.

The official signing meeting was also attended by Agata Maderska, Chief Marketing Officer, and Paweł Klim, Naval Architect and Project Manager at Seatech Engineering, who will be responsible for the substantive implementation of the cooperation agreement.
