SEMINAR - Current Challenges to the German Maritime Industry

On February 5, 2020 the association "Friends of WMU e.V." was founded in Hamburg. The aim of the association is to support the World Maritime University (WMU) in Malmö and its students during visits to Germany and to offer them an active German maritime network. Germany is traditionally one of the strongest supporters of WMU.
