CDIO Student Academy 2016

The CDIO Academy Innovation Competition is held each year at the international CDIO conference. The CDIO Academy Innovation Competition is a student conference within the larger conference with design-implement experiences, and a project exhibit. The CDIO Academy Innovation Competition invites student teams to participate in the conference.

CDIO Academy

The CDIO Academy Innovation Competition is an opportunity for the students that are active at CDIO institution to, meet their peers from higher education programs around the world, and participate in the team based hands on camp. In the CDIO Academy 2016, students have a great opportunity to exhibit their skills when creating solutions to challenging real-world problems.

The main theme for the CDIO Academy Innovation Competition 2016 is sustainability, shipbuilding and future needs of cruise ship passenger.

MeyerTurku, one of the leading European shipbuilding companies, challenge students to discover, define and develop the next breakthrough innovation for cruise ship business:

“What could make a person to take a cruise in 2025, be happy about it, and to become a frequent cruiser?”

Sustainability and shipbuilding links to the fields of know-how in Digitalization, Maritime Cluster and Circular Economy. Modern cruise ship building is innovative and demanding business. Innovations are needed to meet the constantly rising demands from cruise ship passengers, but also to meet high environmental standards. New innovations and high technology enable shipyards to build sustainable, long lasting ships with environmental friendly design. All new innovations also need to meet the cost efficiency demands of the highly competitive cruise ship building business.

An enterprise partner, MeyerTurku, will provide for the student teams the latest information in the field of shipbuilding industry.
