SafeSeas works towards the improvement of education and training on maritime security and ocean governance around the world.
We provide tailored training programmes, workshop and talks according to different organizational needs. We teach courses at masters level at the University of Copenhagen, and have in the past provided executive training, including for the UNODC.
Our approach is informed by our book Understanding Maritime Security, forthcoming with Oxford University Press, 2024. We are in the process of developing online learning opportunities and courses on maritime security.
