Damen – Composite experience of a shipyard

The StarDust project combines strengths and core competencies in nine countries in Northern Europe and brings business, academic and public worlds together to find better solutions for the Baltic Sea Region. The overall objective is it to find new answers for societal challenges that the people in this part of Europe is facing. Increasing water pollution and an ageing population are just two examples of those. StarDust turns these challenges into opportunities for growth http://www.bsrstars.se/stardust/
