Who Goes Maritime? …An anatomy • Q: Who, Why (and How) still decide to go to the sea (& how can this be enhanced)? • We need to know • The profile… • The motivation.. • The expectation • The dream….. of all those who decided to ‘go maritime’ • Survey of MMA students in Greece (2009-13)

Why all these? (The Vision) • Regular collection of data for vital scientific knowledge that the industry cares of and uses for strategic planning • Long-term target: • An international MET Observatory that maps, predicts & provides information about trends and future in marine and maritime education, training & professionalization • (Uni of the Aegean already in collaboration towards this end)
