The SIMUC2020 Theme

For this event we selected 'Smart Simulation for Smart Marine' as the key theme, to discuss the issues that will shape the #SmartSimulation training over the coming years. As always SIMUC will bring together some of the leading experts in simulation and training and provide the latest insights from the sector. One of the key benefits of SIMUC2020 is the opportunity to share professional knowledge and experiences with peers and explore how Transas solutions can support the development of the #SmartMarine future.
