Dissertations
and thesis
In the scope of the project 2 PhD thesis were developed and 1 has been initiated, and 5 master dissertations have been concluded, which also exceeds the initial objective of 1 Ph.D. and 1 M.Sc. thesis.

New course unit
The knowledge gained during the development of MoniTraffic has already been shared with students in the Master Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at IST through a newly introduced course unit, “Modelling and Safety of Maritime Traffic.” This course made its debut during the academic year 2022-2023.
