UDJG-FAN
The Faculty of Naval Architecture (FAN) from the ”Dunărea de Jos” University of Galati, is a leading naval educational institution in Romania starting from 1948, dedicated to advancing the field of naval architecture and maritime engineering. Located in a region with a rich maritime tradition, this faculty stands at the forefront of shipbuilding, ports, and maritime industry education.
Our mission is to enhance the competitiveness and growth of maritime companies through innovative research, collaboration, and international engagement. We are committed to fostering a culture of excellence and cooperation within the maritime sector.
The Faculty of Naval Architecture in Galati comprises a diverse community of experts and students involved in every aspect of the maritime supply chain. Our faculty collaborates with shipyards, ship design companies, maritime equipment and technology providers, ports, shipowners, public administrations (local, river, ports administrations), and other educational and training institutions. This extensive network ensures our programs are aligned with industry needs and global standards.
With a tradition of over 75 years, our curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to excel in the dynamic and ever-evolving maritime industry.
Between 2017-2022, our faculty provided 442 Bachelor of Naval Engineering (Naval Architecture and Ship Systems and Equipment) graduates, while between 2018-2023 only 100 MSc in Naval Architecture graduates (in English).
Of the 217 graduates who graduated Naval Architecture work in the shipbuilding sector (34% design and engineering companies, 56% shipyards, 6% turnkey contractors, 4% others).
The MSc graduates work in the shipbuilding sector (40% design and engineering companies, 46% shipyards, 3% turnkey contractors, 12% others).
Within the LeaderShip project, UDJG through Naval Architecture Faculty will develop two reports for WP4 Training Provision:
- report including the process of piloting main courses, and its assessment to refine them.
- report to implement the courses attending the context of the industry in each country.
These milestones will allow the partners to achieve D4.3 (Pilots of Courses) and D4.4 (Sectorial Approach).

Danish Maritime
Danish Maritime is the business association for Danish manufacturers of maritime equipment and ships, shipyards, ship designers, and service providers. The association's overall task is to promote favorable framework conditions and contribute to the Danish maritime industry's continuous success and global competitiveness.
Danish Maritime participates in WP1, WP2, WP3, WP5, and WP6, and organizes the third project meeting in Copenhagen in November 2024.
The Danish maritime industry faces a significant challenge in securing the maritime competencies of the future, especially within the technically oriented disciplines. If companies cannot provide the necessary manpower, the tasks will move out of the country and the EU, and we risk losing the skills and earnings. Therefore, we need to ensure that the total talent pool that the maritime industry can recruit from is as large as possible and has the relevant technical competencies. To ensure this there is a need for a joint effort to upskill and reskill workers in the maritime industry. For the industry, employees with the right skills are crucial, as many companies and workplaces are extremely knowledge-intensive. With this project, we will help to ensure that the right competencies are developed and that more people open their eyes to a vibrant and essential industry in Europe.
