On 15 & 16 May 2025 Maritime Research Alliance is organizing a 2-days research festival at University of Southern Denmark in Odense.
Day 1 is for everyone with an interest in maritime research. During the day, maritime researchers from all over Denmark will present their ongoing research activities. This will be combined with panel debates with experts from the maritime research community on hot topics such green transition, geopolitics and digitalization. In the afternoon we will celebrate the 5 years anniversary of Maritime Research Alliance followed by a conference dinner.
Day 2 is an internal network day. Participation in this day is reserved for maritime researchers at the Danish universities, SIMAC, MARTEC, DIIS and the Maritime Museum. Throughout the day we will focus on cross disciplinary and cross institutional reseach collaboration and funding opportunities.
Participation is free for everyone (participants as well as presenters)
We hope to see you on one or both days.
