Last Year’s
Recap & Acknowledgements
Although the previous year was directly influenced by
Covid-19, it was a very successful for SNAME UNIWA. We tried our
best to find ways to create events and more and to make
collaborations with respectful partners.Here is a small recap of the
previous year.
Firstly, we made two collaborations, one with Isalos.net and
one with Cronus Web. We created for the first time ever our
Newsletter with the precious help of Cronus Web, where we try to
publish new issues very often.We also held a very successful Webinar and our members visit
a summer camp in Collaboration with Isalos.net. We would like to
thank both of them for all the help that they gave us, and we hope
to even better things, as we renew our partnership!! We also would
like to thank our Parent Section, because they gave us support
every time we needed it.
Also, we are very happy that 7 new members joined SNAME
community from our University the last
year, and so our “Family” got bigger and better! Also, a lot of
UNIWA students and Teachers are more interest now to join and learn
more about SNAME.It is the
first time since the time that our section was founded, were so
many new members joined in a single year.
SNAME
UNIWA WEBINAR
On April 27th,
we held a very interesting Webinar in collaboration with Isalos.net.
The topic was “Green Shipping: Road to decarbonization”, and it had a
lot of great speakers. It is very important to mention that, Dr. John
Kokarakis, the SNAME Greek Section
Chairman, was one of the speakers and also that Dr. Dimitris Lyridis was the event’s moderator! This webinar
was very successful, because it had around 200 viewers and
participants at the same time, and more than 2500 Playbacks!
Presentation
of University of Strathclyde
NAOME's
PGT Programs
at the
University of West Attica
The University
of West Attica hosted a great and very successful presentation of the
Postgraduate programs of the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean
& Marine Engineering of the University of Strathclyde.
The
event was hosted by the last-year Student reps and supported by the
Head of the Department of Naval Architecture of the University of West
Attica, Professor C. Politis, the Strathclyde
Student Ambassador of the Faculty of Engineering Ioannis Chalaris, and the Senior Lecturer of the University
of Strathclyde Panagiotis Kaklis.
After
the presentation, a quite interesting Q&A session took place with
more than 35 students from UNIWA. This event proves the good
relationship between the two universities, which are proud members of
the SNAME family.
Summer Camp in Oinousses:
"Maritime Sustainability"
Our team participated in the Summer Camp hosted by
Isalos.net and Helmepa in Oinousses, Chios. The Summer Camp's subject
was "Maritime Sustainability", a raising challenge,
that the maritime society is summoned to deal with. We would
like to thank @isalosnet ,
@naftikachronika and @helmepa_savetheseasfor giving us the opportunity
to get in touch with so many remarkable personalities from the
Greek maritime society and for the warm hospitality, that
allowed us to explore both the glorious maritime history of the
island and the quaint island itself.
On 9-7-2021, in the morning session, Isalos.net,
HELMEPA, the University of the Aegean, WISTA Hellas, ΙnussesMunicipalty,
ΣύλλογοςΦίλωνΟινουσσών welcomed and introduced us
to the summer camp. Later in the day we visited the maritime
museum, which is located in the centre
of the island’s port and houses ship models, paintings,
documents and books, all related to maritime tradition of Inousses. Later a guided tour was organized
by the major of the island, who gave us the chance to glimpse
the island’s history through the emblematic buildings, quaint
church and the vivid narrations.
On 10-7-2021, a discussion was made regarding
sustainability in and out of maritime, climate change and its
consequences, which are becoming more and more obvious in our
everyday lives. Also, an additional collaboration was made,
about the bodies, personal and corporate responsibility, who
are able to lead maritime to a greener path. In the afternoon Inousse 3 made circumnavigation around the
island, during which we visited the archipelago of the Aegean,
one of the eastern extremities of Europe and the wider sea
area, while the captains were tour-guiding us.
On 11-7-2021, Helmepa exponents introduced us to soft
skills and lectures were held related to topics such as the
importance of IT to business and maritime economy. Last but not
least an interactive role game was held, in which students and
young professionals were divided in small groups (consisted of
various specialties from the field of maritime) had to present
a plan, according to their point of view, for a greener
maritime.
