Academic Software for Naval Architecture & Shipbuilding
The NDAR Academic Software Initiative for Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering Universities
NDAR has been delivering academic software for naval architecture and shipbuilding since 1988. Today, we proudly partner with universities, engineering schools and naval architecture programs across Europe and beyond, offering specially priced student licenses, academic lab-kits and guest lectures from our team of naval architects and marine engineers. Moreover, our Academic Excellence Award recognises outstanding student work in marine engineering software and supports the next generation of naval architecture professionals.
NDAR and our partners have sponsored Academia by offering software and lecturing at very reduced rates since 1988: we are proud and honoured to work with many Schools and Universities in Europe and beyond!
Qualification for new or continuing Academic software licenses is easy, we just ask to know how our software contributes to the Curriculum at your Academic Institute, and how it is included in Class Syllabuses.
