Blue ambition: Fostering the future of shipping

About the event

The maritime industry is a frontrunner in industrial innovation and change. Through its human talent, it’s been able to power both sustainable initiatives and diversity efforts for decades.

But sustaining this position takes foresight and skills. It means empowering the same human capital that's powering the industry. Keeping shipping at the forefront takes investing in the ones who will continue to make the blue industry greener, more diverse and more competitive.

In celebration of the new HD2 Maritime programme, CBS Lifelong Learning is hosting three insightful talks on lifelong learning in shipping and the challenges we need maritime talent to solve. We’ll be joined by speakers from Danish Shipping, CBS and Women in Shipping who will speak on skills development, sustainability challenges and the state of diversity in shipping.

The event is open to everyone, and highly relevant for those who…

Want to or consider pursuing continuing education in shipping.
