DNV has signed a strategic research and development collaboration agreement with the National Technical University of Athens and will establish a research and innovation hub in Athens this year.
The agreement was signed by Elisabeth Harstad, managing director of DNV Research and Innovation, and Konstantinos Moutzouris, rector of the National Technical University of Athens.
The collaboration will focus mainly on the maritime industry and the university’s School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Ship design optimisation and effective bulk transportation are the initial two main topics. Through closer cooperation between DNV and Greece’s oldest and most prestigious educational institution in the field of technology, the parties aims to learn from each other and cooperate in the best interests of the industry.
