International PhD Seminar Svendborg 2009

International PhD Seminar “Maritime Economics and Management”
November 30 – December 2, 2009
Svendborg, Denmark

The NMU partner Department of Maritime Research and Innovation at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) organise in cooperation with Svendborg International Maritime Academy (SIMAC) and the Centre for Shipping Economics and Innovation at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) the first international PhD Seminar on Maritime Economics and Management. The seminar will take place at SIMAC in Svendborg, Denmark.

This seminar is a means of facilitating interaction among PhD students and of inviting comments and productive criticism from more experienced researchers within the field as well as industry and public sector representatives. E-learning prior to and after the seminar will support the dialogue and interactions. The organisers encourage students at all stages of their PhD research to submit short papers to the seminar (call for papers).

Professor Thomas Pawlik (University of Applied Sciences Kiel) will contribute to this PhD seminar as keynote speaker and tutor. The German professor’s contribution is a "teaching and lecturer exchange activity” related to the NMU project. It shows clearly the positive potentials of the transnational network of universities in the North Sea Region.
