AVEVA Co-Operates With Korea's Top University

AVEVA announced an academic-industrial co-operation with Seoul National University (SNU) to provide 50 Full Package versions of AVEVA Marine to the Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Department.

The agreement signed on 19th October 2007 at SNU's campus, is also aimed at increasing the exchange of shipyard design information and manufacturing technologies between both parties, conducting joint research to overcome challenges faced by shipyards, and enhancing students' skills in AVEVA Marine via training by AVEVA's specialists.

JungChun Suh, Head of the Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Department, SNU, said: "Korea's shipbuilding prowess is largely due to a strong supply of ship engineering graduates from its universities, mainly SNU. With the agreement, we hope that SNU undergraduates will be 'field-orientated' with experience in AVEVA's industry-standard solutions by the time they enter the working world."

Peter Finch, President of AVEVA Asia Pacific said:

"AVEVA Marine is the ultimate set of marine design and engineering tools. We are confident that our contribution to SNU will help Korea's shipbuilding industry stay on the cutting edge by preparing a ready skilled workforce from university level."
