SNAME People-to-People Program
SNAME & People to People Ambassador Programs, an organization committed to the exchange of cultural and professional information around the world, is organizing a delegation of naval architecture, marine and ocean engineering professionals who will travel to China in July of 2007. Delegates will have the opportunity to exchange technical information with such entities as ship owning and operating companies, shipyards, academic institutions, design agencies, maritime research institutes and other professional societies and will meet with leaders in naval architecture and marine engineering. These exchanges will include extensive discussions on ship design for complex and specialty vessels, ship construction technology and production techniques, developments in propulsion systems and developments/applications in class rules for various vessel types/sizes. http://www.sname.org/newsletter/PTPAmbassadorAnnouncement0207.pdf
