Together MTU and National Maritime College of Ireland are a partner in the Blueskilling Innovation project, which is funded through the Atlantic Area INTERREG programme. The project began in November 2023 and will run for three years.
https://blueskillinginnovation.eu/
The Blueskilling Innovation project is committed to empowering individuals with essential skills to drive blue innovation, enhance industrial competitiveness, and expedite the implementation of marine renewables and green navigation technology across the Atlantic Area.
This goal will be achieved through the development of specialized training courses tailored to shipbuilding, maritime, and offshore sectors.
Led by the Basque Maritime Cluster (FMV), the project aims to elevate workforce qualifications across the Atlantic region. Over the course of the three-year project, nine partners from Spain, France, Ireland, and Portugal will collaborate to develop specialized training courses, spanning vocational and higher education, to empower workers in these pivotal sectors.
Project partners are looking for your assistance by completing the survey in the link below. The aim of this survey is to identify skills needs and GAPs to meet the requirements of companies, research and innovation actors in the maritime and MRE sector.
NMCI is focused on the Irish region while other partners are focused on their national regions.
Please take our 20 minute survey.

We are contacting you as a possible user of the AI-ARC project.
The AI-ARC project will present a highly innovative and user-friendly artificial intelligence based platform known as the Virtual Control Room. The Virtual Control Room will have the power to greatly improve maritime situational awareness, decision-making, communication, available rescue resources, and thus the safety of all maritime actors, particularly in the Arctic region.
While the project is still in the development stage we are looking for feedback from potential users to gain a better understanding of the likely acceptance of this new technology and also of any possible societal implications.
A short online survey has been prepared and is available at https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/AI-ARC-Acceptance
More details on the project, and the survey itself, can be found at the link.
Thank you for your time and I hope you are able to participate in this survey.
