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 SecretaryGeneral (SG) of IMO, Mr. E.E. Mitropoulos, and consists of 30 members, who each serve 2-year renewable terms. The Board of Governors usually meets annually, chaired by WMU’s Chancellor, who is also SG of IMO. The BoG reports to IMO Council, which consists of the 40 leading maritime states. An 11-person Executive Board (EB) is appointed by the IMO SecretaryGeneral to help facilitate the work of WMU, provide oversight between sessions of the BoG, give directions and guidelines as necessary, consider draft plans of work and budgets, report to the BoG, and meet no less than three times a year. Members of the EB serve renewable 2-year terms. The EB Chairman T. C. Skaanild is Secretary General/CEO of BIMCO.

Resources and Infrastructure

University Building. WMU’s building is a gift-in-kind from the City of Malmö. WMU’s current 3,000 m2 home dates from the 1960s, and will be replaced in 2013 by the historic Tornhuset, with the addition of a new, architect-designed extension, in the heart of Malmö. The new 5,000 m2 building will provide WMU with outstanding facilities for growth and expansion, especially in research. Library. The WMU Library specializes in the university’s maritime core. It has a print collection of more than 20,000 titles, including books, reports, and documents from IMO and other UN agencies, audio-visual materials, and 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. Journal. During the past decade, the WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs has become a well-recognized leading maritime journal. In 2011, WMU negotiated for Springer Verlag to publish and distribute the journal to help increase subscription and publication impact. Drs. Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs and Max Mejia continue to serve as editor and co-editor, respectively. Each issue of the electronic version of the journal contains at least 4 open access articles, which increase citations and expand the global impact of WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs. Henrik Smith Residence. WMU students in Malmö are welcome to 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. The rent varies from €500 for students to €700/month for non-students. 6

Professional Development Courses and Conferences Professional Development Courses (PDCs). PDCs, 3-21 days in duration, offer professional updating to maritime professionals, language teachers, and government officials. PDCs may be part of the existing M.Sc. program in Maritime Affairs, or may be client-specific, freestanding PDCs offered at WMU; there are also external PDCs for specific external clients, taught at any location specified.

Alumni

WMU has 3,240 alumni from 163 countries, increasing by ~200 graduates annually. The alumni maintain close linkages, creating a unique maritime global network. Graduates hold key posts in maritime education, governments, maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies, or represent their governments internationally. Using Turkey as an example, HE Binali Yıldırım (M.Sc. Class of 1991, Malmö) has served as Minister of Transport and Communication since 2003, and HE İsmet Yılmaz (M.Sc. Class of 1990, Malmö) was appointed Minister of National Defence in 2011. A third Turkish WMU graduate, Mr. Suat Aka (M.Sc. Class of 1990, Malmö), is Deputy Undersecretary in the Ministry of Transport and Communication. WMU is immensely proud of the achievements of these accomplished Turkish alumni, just as we are proud of the accomplishments of all our alumni and the global maritime network they constitute.

The reason for the large number of Chinese graduates is explained by the 459 M.Sc. graduates of the outreach programs in Shanghai and Dalian. Gender. WMU has taken seriously the empowerment of women in the maritime world, as part of the UN Millennium Goals. Until the late 1990s, female students made up less than 5% of the intake to the Malmรถ program. With the support of fellowship donors, the proportion of women has now risen to more than 30% of the annual intake, thereby equipping the global maritime sector with highly educated, powerful female managers. 9

In addition to the resident faculty, WMU is fortunate to have 110 outstanding Visiting Professors from around the world, who are renowned academic or professional experts in their field, and 6 Adjunct Professors, who contribute their expertise to specific areas, including Dr. Charles R. Cushing, a member of the National Academy of Engineering (USA).

Research

WMU’s research program has been invigorated with new research projects and a restructured Ph.D. degree structure. Research is part of WMU’s mission and was given priority in the Strategic Vision Plan 2010-2015. At present, WMU is generating a gross income for the University of ~€1.6 million. The research budget is not part of the regular WMU operational budget; income must equal expenditure, and so 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. The research projects fund Research Associates and Research Assistants, and have extended WMU’s publication record, reputation, and international impact. Current projects •

Finances

WMU’s total budget in 2011 was almost €8 million, a 20% increase over 2010, due to a significant increase in enrollment and increased development, leading to a net budget surplus in 2011 as in 2010. 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 clearly 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%-7% 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.
