Draft Letter to the Dean of the Maritime Universities

The Maritime Health Research and Education-NET is a non-profit network of students and researchers to support the well-being of the students in the maritime schools/universities. The method is that we ask the classes of maritime students to fill out a short questionnaire about their health and wellbeing in the beginning of their studies. When they start their practice times at sea, they answer the same questions to identify the influence on their well-being on board. We measure how many of them leave the sea profession and we ask them how they think the profession can continue to be attractive to the young people. Later we continue to ask them with some years intervals with the same questionnaires. We give the same questionnaires to the maritime students in other countries for comparison and to learn from their proposals on how to get the best working conditions. Practically we want to ask the coordination student of the class to distribute the questionnaires.
