The Center conducts not only theoretical and experimental research activities but also provides training for students, cadets, interns, graduates, and PhD candidates in its areas of expertise.The Center has qualified specialists and a modern material base for delivering lectures, conducting laboratory exercises, practical training, and internships, as well as for the development of graduation projects and doctoral dissertations in the fields of maritime technology, marine and river transport, ocean and coastal engineering, and environmental protection.In the field of education, the Center maintains diverse forms of collaboration with universities in the region and the country.Internships for students from other European countries, as well as work on European projects and applied industrial tasks, offer students and PhD candidates opportunities to participate in the Center’s research activities and international forums, establish contacts with foreign students and leading experts from various countries, and gain practical experience in developing joint projects within integrated teams.
Under the guidance of experienced professionals and with the assistance of methodologies and instructions, students, interns, and PhD candidates can acquire skills in preparing and conducting model testing in the Center’s specialized experimental facilities. They also become acquainted with numerical hydrodynamics and aerodynamics methods, work with modern software products, and gain experience in using CAD-CAM systems to generate 3D models and manufacture products with complex geometries.
The Center has the resources and infrastructure to conduct research activities and to support highly qualified specialists on projects of mutual interest.
