WEBINAR SERIES - MET - Artificial Intelligence in Maritime Education & Training
WMU is pleased to offer a WMU Alumni Webinar Series focused on contemporary Maritime Education & Training topics. As the industry undergoes rapid and far-reaching transformation, continuously strengthening competence-based training while simultaneously harnessing the potential of digitization is essential. These issues are at the forefront of IMO’s Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping (HTW) deliberations.
This three-part webinar series focuses on the critical areas of: exploring the opportunities and challenges of Artificial Intelligence in MET; Human Factors & Non-Technical Skills in VTS Training; and enhancing onboard training. These themes address how knowledge is created, transferred, and applied in the maritime sector, and directly influence the competence, safety, and sustainability of the global workforce.Through expert insights and active alumni engagement, this series offers a unique opportunity to examine how innovative training practices, emerging technologies, and a renewed commitment to human well-being are collectively defining the next generation of maritime leadership.
Each webinar will consist of two parts: a presentation from a subject matter expert, followed by a moderated discussion. Please note that registration is required for each session you wish to join. The webinars are open to the public.
