Roundtable NEW SKILLS FOR MARITIME LOGISTICS Sines 3Nov

Qualiseg was present at M4ML Project Roundtable on NEW SKILLS FOR MARITIME LOGISTICS. The event was held on 3 of November at the Port of Sines Administration premises in Sines. It was also an opportunity to disseminate the Master Maritime Logistic (MML) jointly promoted NOVA SST and Portuguese Naval Academy as part of MARLEM Project. The third phase of MML applications still open until 15th November.

The blue economy has enormous potential to generate growth and many new jobs in the coming years, but to do so, the training of human resources with key competences that allow them to gaining a competitive advantage in the face of today's challenges is key. In this sense, the MML is an innovative master's program in Portugal aimed to address these challenges.

M4ML project is funded by the EEA Grants under the Blue Growth Programme.

Through the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway are partners, in the internal market, of the Member States of the European Union.

As a way of promoting a continuous and balanced strengthening of the economic and trade relations, the parties of the European Economic Area Agreement have established a Multiannual Financial Mechanism, known as the EEA Grants.

The EEA Grants aim to reduce the economic and social disparities in the European Economic Area and strengthen the bilateral relations between beneficiary and donor countries.

For the period 2014-2021, a total contribution of 2.8 thousand million euros has been agreed to 15 beneficiary countries. Portugal will benefit from an amount of 102.7 million euros.
