Blue Growth Programme: Signature of Financing Contract - Project “Marine Training for Seagoing Courses”

The Contract of the Pre-Defined Project "Marine Training for Seagoing Courses", was signed on March 20th between the Directorate-General for Maritime Policy (as Programme Operator) and the Escola Superior Náutica Infante D. Henrique (ENIDH).

The € 2,000,000 financing, to be used over the next three years, will enable the acquisition of a set of state-of-the-art marine simulators and reinforce the improvement of capacity building in maritime education and training, including also the cooperation between ENIDH and the Norwegian partner institutions (Norwegian University of Science and Technology and University of Southeast Norway).

Bearing this in mind, ENIDH also intends to open the School to cooperation with foreign nautical institutions, providing the exchange of teaching experiences, sharing and improving academic programs and the mobility of teachers and students, increasing the degree of connectivity in a richer pedagogical environment, path that will lead to an Institution with better performance, more quality and a greater number of interconnections with similar institutions.
