  1. UniMET – Innovation in Maritime Education and Training Prof. Dr. Reza Ziarati¹ Dr. Martin Ziarati² Officer Ugurcan Acar² ¹TUDEV Institute of Maritime Studies ²Centre For factories of The Future IMLA 19 – 28th September – 1st October 2011 – Opatija/Rijeka, Croatia

  2. Background research • STCW 78 - Amended in 1991, 1995, 2003 and 2010 • EMSA findings • Varied MET practices • Shortage of seafarers , estimated to grow • Implementation of IMO Model Courses

  3. Introduction • UniMET Project – Unification of Marine Training and Education • UniMET intends to harmonise maritime education and training across its partnership and then later in Europe and Worldwide.

  4. Project Partners • C4FF, Centre for factories of the Future Ltd,education, training and research company ,U.K. • TUDEV, Maritime Training centre, Turkey • SUAS, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, Finlad • MIWB, Maritime Instituut Willem Barentz, Maritime Higher education institution, Netherlands • LMA, Lithuanian Maritime Academy, Maritime Higher educational institution, Lithuania • Spinaker d.o.oMaritime VET and adult education provider, SME, Slovenia • OPR, Centre for Development Works, Poland • CONSAR, Ship Owners research Consortium, Italy • FNB, Polytechnic University of Barcelona, Spain

  6. Aims and Objective • To embed the UniMET programme within the partner countries through cross-referencing and review of the IMO Model programmes and courses as well as inclusion of good practices • To ensure that seafarers are compliant with IMO requirements • To make seafarers more mobile and employable

  7. Aims and Objective • To inform local, national and international maritime organizations, awarding, licensing and professional bodies about the UniMET programme and seek their support in the harmonisation of MET provisions • By disseminating UniMET programme to key decision makers within maritime and government bodies it is hoped that they will accept and support the programme therefore enabling the expected changes to policies regarding MET to be made

  8. Aims and Objective • To establish a quality assurance and control system for the delivery of UniMET Programme based on an existing good practices such as BTEC/Edexcel system • C4FF was involved in the development of the BTEC system and will provide valuable contacts and assistance in enhancing the system for the use in the delivery of the UniMET Programme • To spread UniMET further across Europe both during and after the project's completion, raising awareness and transferring good practices with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of MET and safety at sea worldwide

  9. Impact and Sustainability • The UniMET to be promoted through MET centers • Cross referencing techniques is used to find the differences in partner consortium • Quality management model will be developed • EDEXEL and partners own systems will be reviewed • UniMET will address the EU Youth and Citizenship programme aged between 16 and 30 will have increased employability within shipping industry. This will increase the attractiveness of profession by reducing the shortage of seafarers

  10. Impact and Sustainability • Since UniMET programme is implemented in partnership consortium then the short term target group will be reached • IMarEST accreditation to be gathered for Engineering programme • Seminars with the staff and cadets in each institution and representatives from various stake holders part • Questionnaires is disseminated to the target group icularly from industry will be carried. • Articles, papers and workshops to be published for conferences such as IMLA, IMEC, IMAM and so forth.

  11. Impact and Sustainability • Presentations to be made to IMO sub-committee involving the major awarding, accreditation and licensing bodies to promote UniMET • Each partner will support the expansion of UniMET programme across EUROPE. • UniMET will support the projects such as ATRACT ME to encourage young people to undertake career in the merchant navy. • EMSA will be a major incentives for UniMET to be promoted and sustained

  12. Impact and Sustainability • Programme will be supported and will lead to qualifications recognised internationally • Having international recognitions for officers has a tremendous impact for shipping companies such as those in Turkey • Acceptance of SOS programme which is the core of the UniMET has already been tested through mobility programmes such as TRAIN 4Cs I and II • The approach adopted in the SOS was to find the common denominators through cross-referencing methods which developed in a previous EU project (EUTOTECNET). These methods will be used in UniMET
