Message from the President As President of the World Maritime University (WMU), it gives me enormous pleasure and pride to present Facts 2016. This comprehensive annual booklet provides a wealth of information about WMU including programmes, research, alumni, faculty, and donor highlights. We have entered a very exciting period in the history of WMU. The WMU Board of Governors and the IMO Council have endorsed the Study on the Financial Sustainability of WMU which identifies eight strategic directions for the University, one of which is specifically focused on strengthening the University’s research function for maritime policy and ocean subjects. In light of this development, WMU has expanded its offerings to include oceans and energy goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and in particular Goals 7, 14 and 17. Goal 7 concerns access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Goal 14 deals with the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and maritime resources for sustainable development. Goal 17 deals with strengthening the means of implementation and revitalization of the global partnership for sustainable development. WMU is the global centre of excellence for postgraduate maritime and ocean education, research and capacity building. Founded by the International Maritime Organization, WMU holds a unique position among maritime institutions and provides an unrivalled educational experience within a multicultural environment in the spirit of the United Nations. I invite you to learn more about this incredible University that is educating the maritime leaders of tomorrow.

MSc in Maritime Affairs - Malmö, Sweden The MSc programme in Malmö is designed for mid-career maritime professionals to meet the current needs of the maritime sector. The standard 14-month programme begins in September and from the 2016 intake consists of 90 ECTS credits. The first term (24 ECTS credits), including research methodology, lays the foundation for successful graduate studies. Throughout the second and third specialization terms (44 ECTS credits), the programme integrates academic subjects with realworld applications through the field study programme and Visiting Professors from the maritime sector. In the fourth and final term (22 ECTS credits), students deepen their knowledge in their main field of study while simultaneously broadening their knowledge base through exploration of the other specializations. In 2016, WMU launched two new specializations within the Malmö MSc in Maritime Affairs, namely in Maritime Energy Management, and Ocean Sustainability, Governance and Management. These specializations are part of the University’s response to the new WMU oceans-related agenda that was approved by the IMO Council in June 2015 on the basis of the Study on the Financial Sustainability of WMU. They are also a key component of WMU’s response to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015 that includes 17 goals and related targets intended to guide the global efforts to end poverty, promote prosperity and well-being for all, protect the environment and address climate change. Maritime Energy Management is designed for professionals from the maritime energy and environmental sectors, and offers a comprehensive understanding of different aspects of maritime energy management, from ships to maritime-related onshore facilities. It provides the expertise needed to achieve a sustainable and energy-efficient maritime industry. Ocean Sustainability, Governance and Management is designed for all those concerned with the economic, social and environmental health and sustainability of coastal and ocean environments. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected global economic-social-environmental coastal and ocean system, within the broader ocean context, and an understanding of the complex UN system for ocean governance. These two new specializations are complemented by five more: Maritime Education & Training; Maritime Law & Policy; Maritime Safety & Environmental Administration; Port Management; and Shipping Management & Logistics. 5
“There are experiences that define us and cause a paradigm shift both in our professional and personal outlook. For me, the WMU experience is one of such. I am sincerely humbled by the depth of knowledge displayed by the patient and considerate academic staff. On a personal level, not in all my years of existence has my perception of my fellow humans been so quickly and positively enriched as by my interactions with people of diverse cultures and backgrounds at WMU. Living together in the Henrik Smith Residence eliminated any untoward conceptions I might have harboured about people of different cultures and creed”. Joseph Adamu-Alamba MSc 2015 SML Nigeria

Finances 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). Sweden, WMU’s host country, contributes 23 - 33% annually including providing the University’s premises. The Nippon Foundation of Japan is a vital contributor, both to the operational budget (Nippon Foundation Professorial Chairs) and in the form of student fellowships (Sasakawa Peace Foundation). WMU’s sources of funding are shown below. Origin of Income $11,660,000)

The official ribbon-cutting at the entrance was done by IMO Secretary-General and WMU Chancellor, Mr. Koji Sekimizu, together with Mr. Erik Bromander, State Secretary to the Minister for Infrastructure, Ministry for Enterprise of Sweden, and Ms. Katrin Stjernfeldt-Jammeh, Chairman of the Malmö City Executive Board. Inside the building, Dr. Yohei Sasakawa, Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, Mr. Sekimizu, and WMU President Designate, Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry, cut the ribbon to declare open the new Sasakawa Auditorium. The new facilities of almost 6,000 square meters have essentially doubled WMU’s floor space offering immense opportunities to support the growth of the University with a new auditorium, multiple research labs, seminar rooms and videoconferencing facilities. The WMU library, which houses an exceptional collection of maritime titles, has quadrupled in size, and vital collaborative spaces for students and faculty are located throughout the building. The City of Malmö provided WMU with the landmark Old Harbour Master’s Building and through an architectural competition selected a dramatic extension wing completed by the renowned Danish architect Kim Utzon in collaboration with Australian architect Tyrone James Cobcroft of Cobcroft Architects. The new extension is a bold architectural statement that serves as an “urban hinge” between the historic city and the docklands. The move to the new facilities was supported by the generosity of several donors and the building was awarded the City of Malmö’s highest architecture prize, the Stadsbyggnadspriset or City Building Prize as well as the Region Skåne Architecture Prize.

“The 17 months I spent at WMU and in Malmö have become the best part of my life so far. Not only did I gain new knowledge and skills from the academic programmes, but I also learned a lot through the interaction with many people including professors, staff and colleagues in such a multicultural environment.” Maki Tominaga Class of 2015 Japan Sasakawa Fellow
Donor Focus - The Nippon Foundation The Nippon Foundation, through the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), is the largest fellowship donor to the University. Chairman of The Nippon Foundation, Dr. Yohei Sasakawa, is carrying on the philanthropic work of his father, and first Chairman of the Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa. Since 1987, the Sasakawa Fellowship Programme has funded a global network of 553 Sasakawa Fellows. 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 Network Meetings. The Nippon Foundation has further supported the capacity building mission of WMU by sponsoring three Professorial Chairs since 2013 and has increased this support to sponsor an Assistant Professor position. In addition, The Foundation provides support for numerous conferences and events hosted by WMU. For 2016, the Nippon Foundation has pledged to increase the number of Sasakawa Fellowships to 35. Historically the Sasakawa Fellowship programme has been dedicated to developing countries, and, in addition, in 2016 some fellowships are earmarked to support government employees from developed countries. The Foundation has offered further support for the financial sustainability of WMU. At the inauguration of the new WMU building in May of 2015, Dr. Sasakawa announced the Foundation was planning to set up a special endowment fund worth US$100 million to support expansion of the WMU scope to include ocean-related matters and to establish an ocean and maritime research institution within WMU.
