Shaping the Future of Green Shipping: Modular Teaching in Maritime Innovation

Prof. Dr. Elimar Frank, Head of the Institute for Energy and Resource Efficiency (WERZ) at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences in Zug, will present the topic "Shaping the Future of Green Shipping: Modular Teaching in Maritime Innovation".

Within the European innovation project SYNERGETICS, a series of modular teaching units has been developed for integration into university courses and seminars. While primarily aimed at students of naval architecture and maritime technology, the modules are highly interdisciplinary and also suitable for engineering, environmental, design, economics, and policy-related studies. Key topics include retrofitting for greener inland and coastal shipping, energy carrier production and supply (Well-to-Tank), alternative fuels (Tank-to-Wake / Well-to-Wake), onboard propulsion and storage technologies, regulatory frameworks, and implementation scenarios. In this seminar, we present the modular concept and practical examples for teaching and learning applications.
