#Knowledge Round 1: Sailor Sunday

From now on, we would like to help you fall asleep smarter on Thursdays. Why on Thursdays? We don't sail on Fridays and we have time for this due to the harbour routine. But perhaps it's also so that you can lead the table on Sailor's Sunday with your knowledge of the subject? The truth is probably somewhere in between, but it's only fitting that we start our 2021 series with the history of Seamen's Sunday. #Bescheidwisserwissen Round 1 Seamen's Sunday Seamen's Sunday was first mentioned in a document in 1727 in Hamburg's Articles of Parliament. According to legend, sailors had a little more slack on Thursdays, as no sailing ships were allowed to leave a harbour on Fridays due to the fear of accidents. According to another legend...

May I introduce: The NIT.

We are the NIT. The Naval Innovation Team. Yes, yes... another team like that. Another group of "young savages" who want to improve the maritime environment. But far from it. We are not just any group, we are the ones who are really making things better this time and not just complaining about deadlocked structures and situations. Doing is just like wanting, only more blatant! But right from the start. What are we actually about? Two-thirds of our name is self-explanatory. The middle part, the term "innovation", which is now used all too inflationarily, should be emphasised here: Where does innovation even begin and how does it fit in with a sub-force,...

Digital barcamp on security policy communication for the navy

Kiel, 2019: Under the title "#boarding19 - Fjords, Twitter, grey ships", the Freundeskreis Seebataillon e.V. and the Hermann Ehlers Akademie organised the first barcamp on security policy communication in the navy. Around 60 military and civilian experts from the fields of press relations, politics, journalism and corporate communications came together to learn from each other and discuss the latest trends in (security policy) communication. #boarding20 continues the discussion - this time digitally This year we are entering the second round. Together, we want to build on last year's event and expand the discussion to include the topic of leadership: What role do digital tools play in leadership? How functional are the Bundeswehr's social media guidelines? How do you counter the sharing of misinformation - e.g. on the Covid-19 pandemic? How can maritime security policy be successfully communicated digitally? Your topics in the nexus of (maritime) security policy, social media and communication are very welcome. As usual in barcamps, the topics are defined by all participants. #DigitalBarcamp - how does it work? Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are organising Barcamp 2020 in digital form. The basic form of the Barcamp will remain the same. We will try to bring the barcamp atmosphere to you in your home office using online tools and video channels. And just like last year, we want to bring together experts from the fields of marine, social media and communication. We will let the participants know exactly what this means in good time.

Digital workshop UXO20 - Maritime explosive ordnance disposal

"Naval Mine Counter Measures" is an ongoing technological issue that is of particular relevance worldwide, but especially in Germany and the countries bordering the Baltic Sea. Dealing with restricted weapons, old armaments and improvised explosive devices in the maritime area poses organisational and technical challenges for the players involved, which we want to address as part of a professional exchange of experts between science, industry and the navy. In dialogue with specialists We are therefore looking forward to discussing innovation topics such as low-signature propulsion systems, modern detection systems, unmanned underwater vehicles and biotechnological delaboration together with the specialists of the Operational Flotilla 1 and the Naval Innovation Team of the German Maritime Institute on Friday, 26 June 2020. The results of the panels will be incorporated into a white paper by the Naval Innovation Team. Download "#UXO20 Whitepaper" Those interested in participating can contact us at [email protected]...
