Clustering

The ambition is to bring the competence of the maritime cluster to a level of excellence. As part of project The Danish Maritime Cluster will work with knowledge institutions, associations, businesses and authorities to create educational programs ranging from shorter bachelor degrees to graduate programs and phd. funding.

The effort will be driven, in part, by bringing together the educational institutions with businesses to realize the full potential of the strengthened competences.
