In 2013-14 INTERMAR will be running at full speed
That means that the various naval and maritime academies will present the course to their student in a fashion which is based on the experiences of the piloting of the module, which took place last year, see more below! The stages of the development work are presented below the piloting (scroll down!).
Piloting of the sections/materials
INTERMAR is/was used for the first time between December 2012 and May 2013, see the table below! The experiences of the teaching/learning during this period will be evaluated and discussed at a work meeting in June (in Paris). Then the materials will be revised and re-launched at the Final Event in Lisbon in September 2013, to which representatives of all European Maritime and Naval Academies are invited.
