Real Impact…
We’re crafting a fellowship program driven by purpose, bold thinking & thoughtful execution
Our vision is to create a cadre of fellows from various disciplines to draft redevelopment plans for port communities interested in creating educational hubs
From Concepts to New Frontiers
Making this initiative a priority positions universities as leaders in innovation, global engagement, and efficient resource use.
By actively developing partnerships & allocating dedicated staff to coordinate specialized programs & living accommodations, institution can quickly transform port communities into innovation hubs for visiting scholars, entrepreneurs, and research teams.
Prioritizing this effort not only generates new revenue streams but also strengthens the university’s reputation as a forward-thinking collaborative for cutting-edge ideas and retention of high value talent.
IMAGINE … opening the door to vibrant academic exchange and hands-on innovation for domestic & international students for specialized programs, research collaborations, and pilot projects.
Untethered Learning …..
Envision transforming cruise ships into floating university research hubs and innovation incubators, where students, faculty, and industry partners collaborate at sea. These mobile campuses could host specialized labs, workshops, and startup accelerators, traveling to global ports to conduct region-specific research, foster cross-cultural exchange, and pilot real-world solutions. By merging academic exploration with the mobility of a cruise vessel, projects could tap into diverse ecosystems, test ideas in varied environments, and attract international talent—all while turning the ship into a self-sustaining think tank on the water.
Best Practices & Bold Vision… By merging best practices with cutting-edge innovation and technology, our fellows will help reshape port communities into dynamic educational hubs
