TeamSafety Meeting

The partners in the EU research project, TeamSafety, met in Dublin on August 24 and 25 to review progress and to co-ordinate the next steps and activities in the project. The partners were welcomed to Ireland by the Mayor of Dun Laoghaire, Councillor John Bailey. WMU’s Michael Baldauf is leading the project, which aims to develop an innovative 3D virtual team-training maritime safety simulation platform to meet the latest EU safety requirements for sea and seafarers’ emergency response training. Dr Baldauf and Dr Birgit Nolte-Schuster attended the meeting in Ireland, and also the preparatory meeting on board the DFDS ferry "Pearl Seaways" to Oslo, hosted by Captain Lars Skjold-Hansen, which examined fire drill procedures.

TeamSafety is carried out in partnership with the Nautical Institute (UK), the Danish Innovation Institute, PERA (UK), and Unity Studios of Denmark, along with commercial MET providers, Ask Safety of Norway, the Bulgarian Maritime Training Centre and Sea & Shore Safety Services Ltd. of Ireland. It falls under the EU's Specific Programme, CAPACITIES, part of the 7th Framework Programme, and belongs to the theme "Research for the Benefit of SMEs Associations". The total project budget is €2.8 million, of which €2.2 is funded by the EU; WMU will receive €300,000.
