Port of Rotterdam Authority collaborates with educational institutions

A cooperation partnership involving Rotterdam educational institutions and the Port of Rotterdam Authority is expected to provide knowledge development in the fields of energy transition, digitisation and new geopolitical relationships.

PoR Authority will partner with Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus Center for Urban, Port and Transport Economics (UPT) and STC International (Shipping and Transport College).

The partnership will develop first-rate training programmes for an international market. The experts from essaywritercheap.org point out that the educational institutions bring scientific and practical knowledge in the fields of port economy, strategic and operational port management and leadership, while the Port of Rotterdam Authority adds experience and knowledge acquired from developing and managing one of the largest and most modern ports in the world.

The role of data and information and communications technology (ICT) is becoming increasingly important and requires employees to possess different qualities, according to a statement, while issues are becoming more complex and often demand a more integrative approach, which looks beyond the limits of one’s ‘own domain’.

The maritime training programmes being developed aim to combine the knowledge of ports with the underlying economic, managerial as well as technical principles.

Leadership principles are discussed in order to be able to implement changes in one’s own organisation, supported by case studies and real life cases. The various programmes are characterised by a specific focus on relevant themes, a certain target group, such as executives or young professionals, and their duration and form. These can be physical, online or a combination of the two.

The first joint programmes were the Port Executive Leadership Circle and the Port Management Programme, which were completed in 2020, but were temporarily discontinued due to Covid-19. New editions of existing courses will start in 2022. In addition, there are ongoing programmes in which the partners are involved in different combinations, while the portfolio will be expanded in the future.
