The memorandum is concluded for a period of five years, with the possibility of extension by mutual consent. The document does not create financial or legal obligations but serves as a clear declaration of intent for cooperation, joint development, and strengthening expert influence in the field.
Comment from the Institute
“We are convinced that cooperation with the Kherson State Maritime Academy will not only promote the development of the scientific and educational space but also strengthen Ukraine’s institutional capacity in the maritime and space sectors.
