Inauguration of Center of Excellence - Odesa / CBS


Event Description

In the difficult times of war it is critical that we are proactive and launch activities that give hope for the future. At Department of Strategy and Innovation at Copenhagen Business School we take a long-term responsibility by initiating a "competence corridor" between Copenhagen and Odesa. For Danish shipping, it will be advantageous to build strong educational and research relations with Odesa, as the region around the Black Sea is likely to gain ever greater strategic and commercial importance.

May 13th 2024, CBS and ONMU, will join forces and establish a new joined Center-of-Excellence (CoE) between Odesa and Copenhagen. This collaborative effort will unite researchers from both universities and serve as a foundation for the upcoming research-based bachelor’s program at Odesa National Maritime University described below.
