FACTS 2014 1

The social and cultural experiences students gain at WMU are of immense value in their professional and personal lives. Studying and living together at WMU gives students a unique opportunity to learn how to interact with people from so many different cultures. Instilling respect and appreciation for others gives students a life-skill that is invaluable in all arenas, but particularly in a business as global and as international as shipping. From a practical point of view, it gives WMU alumni an unrivalled network of friends and colleagues with whom to share and resolve various issues they face in the real world of the maritime community.

English & Study Skills Program (ESSP) - Malmö, Sweden The ESSP is a 3-month program that begins in June. Open to students joining WMU’s standard M.Sc. program, or to independent students, the curriculum is designed to upgrade the English language competencies of the participants to a postgraduate level. Roughly 30% of Malmö M.Sc. students join ESSP. Fees for the program, including tuition and the requisite insurance (medical, life, accident), are $5,300. An additional $4,700 is required to cover accommodation and basic living expenses. Donor Fellowships A limited number of full fellowships are available to Malmö M.Sc. students annually on a competitive basis. The majority of the fellowships are awarded to employees of maritime administrations. A full 14-month fellowship is valued at $52,500. In addition to full fellowships for the 14-month program, some donors provide ESSP fellowships valued at $10,000 to cover both university fees and student costs for the ESSP program. Some fellowships cover university fees only with a value of $26,000. In the Class of 2014, students are supported by fellowships offered by the following donors: • • • • • • • • • • • •

RESEARCH Research is part of WMU’s mission and was prioritized in the Strategic Vision Plan 2014 - 2018. Research projects in 2014 will generate a gross income of ~$457,000. 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

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 6,000m2 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 see page 32 or 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 were published in 2013. Dr. Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs and Dr. Larry Hildebrand serve as co-editors. 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 WMU’s total budget in 2013 was a 40% increase over 2012, resulting in a net budget surplus for the past three years. 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: Origin of Income by Country

“Education is the best way to understand ourselves and others. WMU encourages culture exchange and contacts across boundaries. Education and diversity in combination are strong factors contributing to understanding and peaceful living. WMU has enriched Malmö, contributing knowledge and adding another international touch to the city.”

Ilmar Reepalu, Chairman, Malmö City Board (ret.)

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 opportunities 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 page 32.

GRADUATION 2013

DONOR FOCUS The Nippon Foundation With the graduating Class of 2013, a milestone in extraordinary support of WMU and the global maritime network was reached by The Nippon Foundation, and associated Ocean Policy Research Foundation (OPRF). The 23 recent graduates bring the total number of Sasakawa Fellows sponsored directly by the Foundation to 511, totaling over USD 21.5 million. Established in 1987, the WMU Sasakawa Fellowship Program is funded by The Nippon Foundation, and administered by OPRF. Chairman of The Nippon Foundation, Yohei Sasakawa, is carrying on the philanthropic work of his father, and first Chairman of the Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa. Upon graduation, the Class of 2013 Fellows joined the global network of individuals whose lives have been changed by accepting their roles as Sasakawa Fellows. The Foundation’s goals for social innovation aim to achieve a society where people support one another. Their mission statement maintains that “Everyone has a role to play: citizens, corporations, nonprofit organizations, government, and international bodies. By forging networks among these actors, The Nippon Foundation serves as a hub for the world’s wisdom, experience, and human resources, giving individuals the capacity to change society - the hope that they can make a difference.”

2013 WMU Sasakawa Fellows with WMU President Björn Kjerfve, and Mitsuyuki Unno, Executive Director of The Nippon Foundation

Second only to WMU’s host country of Sweden, The Nippon Foundation, through OPRF, is the largest fellowship donor to the University, providing 22-25 new awards on an annual basis. Together with other Japanese donors including the Shipbuilders’ Association of Japan, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NK), the Japanese Shipowners’ Association, Nippon Kaiji Kentei Kyokai (NKKK), Oshima Shipbuilding Co. and Namura Shipbuilding Co. the total number of WMU Sasakawa Fellows is 521 from 60 countries. In addition to the Fellowships that cover all tuition and living expenses, since 1993 The Nippon Foundation has hosted a week-long field study to Japan for Sasakawa Fellowship Students and since 2001 has regularly hosted Sasakawa Fellow gatherings. Aside from the extraordinary support for students, The Nippon Foundation has further supported the capacity building mission of WMU by sponsoring Professorial Chairs beginning with one annually in 2003 and increasing to two annually in 2011 for a total of 4.4 million USD. In addition, the Foundation provides support for numerous conferences and events connected with WMU. The vision of The Nippon Foundation, and their long-standing support of WMU, has created an extraordinary network of maritime professionals promoting the social innovation ideals of the Foundation while focusing on capacity building within their nations. The Foundation’s inspirational generosity is undoubtedly contributing to a global community instilled with hope that as individuals, we can make a difference.

30TH ANNIVERSARY 2013

The vision of WMU took shape at the beginning of the 1980s when IMO identified a shortage of well-qualified, highly educated maritime experts, particularly in lesser developed nations. To address this gap, the IMO endeavored to found an institution to support Member States with the high-level education necessary to implement international Conventions. In determining the institution’s location, then IMO Secretary-General Dr. C.P. Srivastava, approached the Swedish Ministry of Transport who welcomed the idea and Malmö was determined as the home of the institution. With the financial support of the Swedish government, the City of Malmö, and private donations, the World Maritime University (WMU) was inaugurated on 4 July 1983. It is clear that 30 years later, WMU’s influence is significant, widespread, and growing as it continues to serve the international maritime community through expanded degree offerings, professional development courses, distance learning, international conferences, and research. WMU is continuing its mission to serve IMO as their centre of excellence for postgraduate maritime education.

The 30th anniversary was celebrated throughout 2013 beginning with the official anniversary date of 4 July with WMU staff and students in Malmö. This was closely followed by a particularly festive International Day hosted by the students on 6 July at the Henrik Smith Residence. On 10 July an anniversary reception was hosted at IMO, with a constellation of prominent guests and a significant number of alumni as well as current long-serving WMU staff, it was a momentous occassion. Former IMO Secretary-Generals and WMU Chancellors, William O’Neil and Efthimios E. Mitropoulos were in attendance, and a message of congratulations from WMU’s founding father, Chancellor Emeritus and former IMO Secretary-General C.P. Srivastava was delivered by the current SecretaryGeneral and WMU Chancellor, Mr. Koji Sekimizu. During the graduation weekend, an Anniversary Dinner was co-hosted by the City of Malmö. Nearly 250 guests and WMU staff were welcomed to a formal dinner in the Old City Hall. The final event of the year was the graduation ceremony on 24 November with guests of honor H.E. Catharina Elmsäter-Svärd, Minister for Infrastructure, Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications for Sweden, and Admiral Robert J. Papp, Jr., Commandant, United States Coast Guard, USA. In addition to the anniversary and overall achievement of WMU in the past three decades, 2013 was an extraordinary year with record enrollment. As WMU looks ahead to the next 30 years, it is clear the future is bright.

TORNHUSET 2014

With 30 years of increased growth and activity, it is no surprise that WMU has outgrown its current facilities. At the close of 2014, WMU will move to Tornhuset, the historic Old Harbour Master’s Building in the center of Malmö. The centuryold Tornhuset is a major city landmark that will be supplemented with a dramatic new addition. In total, the nearly 6,000m2 will essentially double WMU’s current floor space providing a multi-purpose academic complex enabling WMU students, faculty, researchers, and staff, the opportunity to collaborate in stateof-the-art facilities. An architectural competition was held by the City of Malmö to select the best possible design for the extension to Tornhuset. The winning proposal was submitted by the renowned Danish architect, Kim Utzon, of Kim Utzon Architects in collaboration with the Australian architect Tyrone James Cobcroft, of Terroir Architects. Centered on the concept of an “urban hinge,” the architects’ approach to the extension was to link the historic city center of Malmö to the docklands. The new premises offer immense opportunities for academic growth with cutting-edge research labs, modern teaching spaces, and video-conferencing facilities. The library will quadruple in size and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs will be able to grow alongside WMU’s Professional Development Course portfolio. In addition, with world-class auditoria and seminar rooms, the University will be able to host international conferences in-house. The City of Malmö is generously providing the building and furnishings, and WMU is responsible for equipping the facilities to the highest standard with research equipment, GIS, database development, and e-learning technology. For information on how to contribute to the new facilities visit wmu.se/tornhuset. WMU is honored to be offered a home in the landmark Tornhuset that played such a vital maritime role and contributed significantly to the economic development of the city and region. As an integral part of the Malmö skyline, and with a stunning new addition, the academic complex will substantially enhance WMU’s ability to serve the global maritime community.
