Njord - The Autonomous Ship Challenge is a student driven competition held in Trondheim that will take place over August 15-19, 2022. The initiative aim to give students the opportunity to challenge themselves and put theory into practice, gaining valuable experience on their journey. Njord’s mission is to inspire students to become world leading engineers in maritime autonomous solutions.
The competition is held by and for students, where the goal is to inspire innovation and smart solutions within marine autonomy, as well as creating a platform for personal development and networking.
In 2022, teams will be able to enter a physical competition as well as a digital one. The competition aims to become an international arena for students to explore new ideas and concepts connected to the autonomous shipping industry. Teams will face real life problems currently experienced by the marine industry, giving them genuine experience with teamwork, prototyping, problem solving and innovation. The problems in the competition are created together with the world leading autonomy cluster situated in Trondheim, providing hands-on experience with state-of-the-art methods used within ocean autonomy.
