International partnerships

 Institut Maritime du Québec (Canada)

A tripartite partnership has been concluded for initial and continuing education offer, educational exchanges, and research to promote mutual recognition of degrees, sharing of online courses, and internship exchanges. The partnership was concluded on October 17, 2019, for a duration of five years.

Antwerp Maritime Academy – Académie Maritime d’Anvers (Belgique)

ENSM and Antwerp Maritime Academy concluded a master partnership agreement on March 29, 2022, aimed at developing links between institutions, pooling their resources, and mutually supporting each other during activities undertaken by either of the two institutions. As a result, cross-mobilities of students, staff, and teachers, the hosting of interns or PhD students can take place, as well as application to calls for international projects. Several incoming and outgoing mobilities have been carried out, particularly the outgoing mobility of a lecturer with research activity at ENSM who was able to work on gas emissions within the enclosed spaces of ships.

Romanian Naval Academy (Mircea cel Batran Naval Academy, Romania)

The partnership agreement concluded in 2018 aims to analyse, identify, and potential develop academic partnerships, and joint participation in scientific events, such as conferences or seminars. It facilitates joint participation in academic programmes developed together by ENSM and RNA, to ease staff access to the partner’s documentary resources, promote scientific publications, etc.
The agreement was concluded for five years, in 2018.

Regional Academy of Marine Sciences and Techniques (Côte d’Ivoire)

Caribbean Maritime University (Jamaica)

On 26 July 2023, further to the links initiated in 2022 between the two maritime academies, an agreement aimed at developing and promoting their cooperation in training and research was signed, particularly in the fields of navigation, energy transition, digitalisation, cyber defense, logistics, offshore industry, or management.

Mobilities of students, teachers, and staff are also forseen, as well as the sharing or creation of online educational resources or technical cooperation within the IMO committees in support and at the discretion of their respective governments when the work involves training, energy transition, or innovation.

ENSM and CMU will also combine their networks from their respective maritime ecosystems in the innovative projects they implement.

On 4 October 2023, ENSM and Escola Superior Nautica Infante D. Henrique, both of which train merchant navy officers and maritime engineering graduates, concluded an agreement to promote the implementation of mobilities under the Erasmus+ Program. The agreement particularly focuses on courses related to pedagogical innovation, the decarbonisation of maritime transport, or the connection between research outcomes and merchant navy training. Both institutions have called on the European Commission to participate in upcoming meetings to highlight the need for a common maritime education in the European space.
