OceanWise and The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) have teamed up to develop and provide Marine Data Awareness Training Courses in London and overseas.
This collaboration combines OceanWise’ expertise as a provider of technical and management training to the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) through its capacity building programme with IMarEST. The new courses, provided by OceanWise, will contribute to the IMarEST member continuing professional development (CPD) scheme.
The first course, supported by The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), is entitled “Providing an overview of Marine Data Management throughout its Life Cycle” and will be taking place at IMarEST offices in Aldgate, London, Thursday 18th June 2015.
“We are pleased to be working with OceanWise in this important area of interest at a time when data management is increasingly important in delivering business and operational efficiencies,” stated Dr. Bev MacKenzie , Technical & Policy Director at IMarEST.
Dr. Mike Osborne , OceanWise’s Managing Director, added: “These courses will deliver important additional knowledge and builds on the IMarEST Metocean Awareness courses it delivers across the World. The collaboration is timely, given that the amount of marine data now being collected is growing exponentially whilst the skills necessary to manage it efficiently are not keeping pace.”
