Leading the Maritime Human Element Centre (MHEC) of the Cyprus Marine & Maritime Institute (CMMI). MHEC addresses the maritime sector’s human, organisational, and societal dimensions across the full lifecycle of maritime operations, from education and workforce entry to shipboard and shore-based work, to technology adoption and system change.

The Centre’s objectives are to:

• Strengthen maritime education and training by aligning curricula and learning methods with evolving roles, skills needs, and competence requirements.
• Improve safety, human performance, and human reliability by advancing human factors practice, safety learning, and effective incident investigation.
• Support well-being, mental health, inclusion, and quality of working life for seafarers and shore-based professionals, recognising the pressures of modern maritime work.
• Enable responsible adoption of new technologies (e.g., automation and autonomy) by ensuring systems are designed and implemented with people at the centre.
• Provide evidence-based guidance for industry and policymakers through applied research, evaluation, and stakeholder engagement.
• Foster collaboration between industry, academia, training providers, and communities, promoting knowledge exchange and solutions with real-world impact.
