WMU: • Contributes to maritime capacity building and the development of effective policies for the global maritime community • Helps build a sustainable world through maritime education and research • Educates future global maritime leaders, experts and professionals • Provides a forum for international collaboration on maritime transportation

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

WMU is governed by Charter and Statutes, approved by IMO Assembly, which is made up of delegations from 170 IMO Member States and 3 Associate Members. The WMU Board of Governors (BoG) is appointed by the IMO Secretary-General, Koji Sekimizu, and consists of 30 members, who each serve two-year renewable terms. The Board of Governors usually meets annually, chaired by WMU’s Chancellor, who to date has been the IMO Secretary-General.

Gender WMU is actively working to implement the UN Millenium Development Goal regarding the empowerment of women. Until the late 1990s, female students made up less than 5% of the Malmö intake. A recruitment strategy with strong support from fellowship donors has resulted in the proportion of female students rising to around a third of the annual intake. Roughly a quarter of WMU faculty are female.

RESEARCH WMU’s research program has been invigorated with new research projects and a restructured Ph.D. program. Research is part of WMU’s mission and was prioritized in the Strategic Vision Plan 2010-2015. Research projects will currently generate a gross income of ~€1.6 million. The research budget is not part of the regular WMU operational budget; income must equal expenditure, therefore research does not generate a net profit. Besides EU funding, WMU is a contractor for IMO and UN agency projects, as well as other maritime organizations worldwide. Funds from research projects support Research Associates and Research Assistants, and have extended WMU’s publication record, reputation, and international impact.

RESOURCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

INTERNATIONAL DAY 2012

University Building WMU’s building is a gift-in-kind from the City of Malmö and the University’s current 2,600m2 home dates from the 1960s. In late 2014, thanks to the continued generosity of the City of Malmö, WMU will move to the historic Tornhuset building in the city center. Combined with a dramatic new addition designed by renowned architect Kim Utzon in partnership with Tyrone Cobcroft, the new location will provide WMU with 5,600m2 of outstanding facilities for growth and expansion including a large auditorium and new research facilities. The City of Malmö is generously providing the building, yet additional support is needed to equip the facilities to the highest standard. For Information on how to contribute to the new facilities visit www.wmu.se. Library The WMU Library offers a specialized resource for the university’s core activities. The print collection consists of more than 20,000 titles, including books, reports, and documents from IMO and other UN agencies, audio-visual materials, and over 1,700 WMU dissertations. The library maintains a core of 350 periodical print titles, and has access to thousands more in electronic format via database subscriptions and commercial maritime web sites. The library portal address is www.wmu.se/library. WMU Journal & Book Series During the past decade, the WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs has become a well-recognized, leading maritime journal. In 2010, WMU signed a publishing and distribution contract with Springer Verlag to increase the subscription and publication impact. In 2012 an additional contract was signed with Springer establishing the book series WMU Studies in Maritime Affairs. The first titles, Farthing on International Shipping by Dr. Proshanto K. Mukherjee and Mark Brownrigg and Maritime Piracy edited by Dr. Maximo Q. Mejia, Jr., Dr. Chie Kojima, and Mark Sawyer are expected to be published in 2013. Dr. Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs and Dr. Max Mejia continue to serve as editor and co-editor, respectively. Each electronic issue of the Journal contains at least four open access articles, increasing citations and expanding the global impact of the Journal.

Henrik Smith Residence The majority of WMU students in Malmö live at the Henrik Smith Residence (HSR), located 3 km from WMU. HSR has 216 single study-bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and access to cooking facilities. Rooms at HSR may be rented by non-students during low residency periods.

FINANCES

DEVELOPMENT

WMU’s total budget in 2012 was €9.2 million, a nearly 20% increase over 2011, due to increased enrollment and increased development efforts, leading to a net budget surplus in 2012 as in 2011. WMU relies on voluntary contributions without any guarantee of continued support from year to year. In contrast, universities worldwide receive the majority of their income from their government, as OECD figures demonstrate (stats.oecd.org/index.aspx). In Europe, on average, the government contributes 74% of universities’ funding. IMO, which is WMU’s equivalent of a national government, contributes 3% of the annual operational budget. Sweden, WMU’s host country, contributes 30-40% annually. Japan is a vital contributor, both to the operational budget (Nippon Foundation Professorial Chairs) and in the form of student fellowships (Ocean Policy Research Foundation). However, WMU relies on a narrow donor base, which makes it vulnerable to global events such as the 2008 financial crisis. WMU’s sources of funding according to country of origin is shown below:

WMU depends almost entirely on voluntary contributions to support student fellowships. Donations can be made to support partial or full fellowships as well as Professional Chairs.

As WMU prepares to move to the heart of Malmö in 2014, there are additional opportunities to support the University’s education, research, and capacity building mission by sponsoring specific spaces within the new premises. Naming opportunites are available for spaces such as the main auditorium, library and research labs, to commemorate the generosity of donors. The China Classification Society, Class NK, Korean Register of Shipping, Shindong Digital, Gard AS, BP Shipping, and others have already contributed to the new WMU facilities. Renderings of the new building can be found on the inside front and back cover of this booklet. For more information on how to contribute to WMU, visit www.wmu.se.
