New convention between Fincantieri and the University of Genoa



Fincantieri and the University of Genoa have signed a new convention for the promotion and the financing of some experimental didactic activities in the naval within. "This convention - the managing director of Fincantieri has explained, Giuseppe Bono - enrolls in the widest picture than collaborations activated in the recent one passed with the genoese athenaeum, that we consider very important from the strategic point of view for fallen back in terms of know-how-how and the thematic garrison and the development of particularly innovative that has generated. To give to continuity and a new impulse to this consolidated relationship, that it involves all the corporate structures, affords us to pursue one of our unavoidable priorities, that is the constant specialization of Fincantieri as constructor of naval unit to elevated technological content, characterized from elevated complex performances and interfaces, that they guarantee the added value that our group can express on the market".

The withins of this collaboration continue to garrison the more specific disciplines of naval engineering (as the naval hydrodynamics, structures and systems), with a continuous potenziamento and integration thanks to the most modern qualifying technologies. Such perspective has carried to wide cooperations with other fields of engineering (for example uses it of technology fuel cell, study of solutions towards the all electric ship, extensive application of digital technology, elevated levels of automation, cyber security).

Fincantieri and the athenaeum of Genoa intend to develop a shared operations plan that it previews the institution of investigator, teacher places and graduate students of search; the creation of laboratories, research projects and innovation kinsmen; the consolidation and the valorization of the formative offer, with thesis and trainings in order to favor the process of insertion of young graduates in company.

"We are many satisfying - the chancellor of the University of Genoa has declared, Paolo Comanducci - of the signature of this convention with Fincantieri, company shipbuilding leader of world-wide and the meanwhile deeply-rooted one in our territory. Fincantieri for a long time represents one of the main interlocutors for the University of Genoa, with the development of most numerous activities in the within of the Didactics, through trainings that often carry to the assumption of new-graduated ours, and of the search, with the joint participation to projects financed on regional, national and international scale or through financings directed by Fincantieri. This convention for us represents an ulterior strengthening of this relationship, with the consolidation of some traditional activities of search as the study of propulsive naval, the typical one of naval engineering, and the introduction of less traditional but very current arguments as system engineering and the cyber-security in naval within".
