Montenegro and Albania (M&A) have a heritage in planning economy, which means the young can not ask the adult generation for advice in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (l&E). Thus, l&E in Blue Industries need to be learned from the ground up and examples need to be brought in from neighboring countries as case studies and visits to l&E successes. An important element in succeeding with Blue economy l&E study programs that attracts the young and talented students and inspire the teachers is to re-establish a dynamic maritime environment. Ideally this would develop into a maritime cluster consisting of all elements of the value chain from maritime industry to service provider. Lithuania, Croatia and Norway together cover state-of-the art l&E applied to the Blue Economies of former planning-economy countries. To supply graduate student and seafarers to the demanding Blue oceanindustries it is necessary offer training on up to date digital equipment with competence programs. Delivering large number of graduates to the Blue Industry make HEls attractive and up to date. The BLUEWBC project aims to connect M&A to this cycle. Revise courses at partner HEls related to l&E in: – 8 BSc and 10 MSc courses revised and 3 new BSc & MSc courses developed in Navigation and costal traffic, Maritime sciences, engineering, management & logistics and Tourism Management – 150 BSc and 30 MSc students from 3 HEls to be involved in revised and developed courses. – Establish 3 Centers for l&E at each partner HEls – Introduce and develop Lifelong Learning (LLL) courses – It is expected at least 25 professionals to be involved at partner HEls developed LU courses. – Training of 20 staff members (Teachers)from partner HEls. – Training of MSc students as pilot activity and 200 students from partner HEls. – Provide new prototyping equipment for 3 Centers for l&E at each partner HEI. Additionally, UoM will upgrade existing digital maritime simulators, UV will upgrade existing simulators.
