Chalmers institution Mekanik och maritima vetenskaper toppar listan när sjöfartssajten Fathom News listar världens nyckeluniversitet kring maritim forskning. ”Chalmers är också kopplat till Lighthouse som tillhandahåller forsknings- och nätverksplattformar som stödjer maritim forskning och projekt” skriver sajten.

Fathom News som är en del av engelska Fathom Maritime Intelligence har listat åtta universitet som ses som huvudaktörer när det gäller avancerad maritim research med starka kopplingar till den maritima industrin.

1. Chalmers, Mekanik och maritima vetenskaper

När det gäller Chalmers och Lighthouse skriver Fathom News:

”This Swedish university is involved in a wide range of projects and research initiatives and is linked to the Lindholmen Science Park that allows industry, academy and public sector to run research and development projects in transport, ICT and the media. A comprehensive test simulator for marine transport and navigation is based here to help develop sustainable transport and electric propulsion.

Chalmers is also connected to the Lighthouse project, which provides research and networking platforms to support maritime research and projects. The project serves to develop Sweden as a key player in sustainable shipping through innovation in logistics, navigation, energy efficiency and alternative fuels.”
