Project newsletter | February 2023

Recent developments in technology have led the maritime industry towards automating a variety of onboard and ashore processes. As technology leads the path towards development, the gap in skills is widening. Personnel’s technical skills have been pushed aside by the need for soft skills, such as leadership, resilience and communication. The iSOL-MET project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ program, aims at bridging this gap between shipping world requirements, in respect to human resources soft skills and competences, through developing innovative educational material on the case study methodology. Led by the University of the Aegean (Greece), it promotes cooperation between six countries: Bulgaria, France, Greece, Poland, Romania and Turkey

Check iSOL-MET project's "Maritime Case Study Handbook" where you can discover all the case studies, as well as learn more about the project partnership and the methodology used. The handbook covers the four highest demanded areas of soft skills in the maritime environment: human resource management, wellbeing and resilience, emotional intelligence, and growth.
