Three SafeMed II sponsored students graduate from World Maritime University

09-01-2012

Three students sponsored by the EU-funded project SafeMed II graduated from the World Maritime University (WMU) this year.  Abed Al-Dabet from Jordan and Hasan Tarcan from Turkey received an MSc in Maritime Safety and Environmental Administration while Makrem Chouchane from Tunisia graduated with an MSc in Shipping & Port Management. 
 
A press release said this was the first graduation ceremony for students following the newly structured and streamlined 14-month Malmö-based MSc programme in Maritime Affairs, which places higher demands on the intellect and stamina of the students. 
  
Thirteen SafeMed II Project sponsored students have graduated from WMU since 2008. Sponsorships are allocated by the SafeMed II Project in order to build capacity in the partner countries’ Maritime Authorities. For this reason, the Project ensures that graduates remain within the public sector of their countries in order to share their knowledge and contribute fully to the enhancement of the performance of the National Authorities.
 
The €5.5 million SafeMed II project seeks to mitigate the existing imbalance between the participating partners that are EU Mediterranean member states and the non EU members from the region in the application of maritime legislation. Among its activities, it funds scholarships to internationally recognized maritime universities. (ENPI Info Centre)
