IX INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON NAVAL DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
Julio Cesar Turbay Ayala Convention Center, Cartagena de Indias
March 12, 13 and 14, 2025
The International Congress of Naval Design and Engineering – CIDIN, is the main academic-scientific space for technology transfer for the strengthening of the naval, maritime and river industry through the participation of the different actors of the scientific, productive, technological and financial environments that make up the sectorial innovation system of the shipyard sector.
CIDIN takes place within the framework of the COLOMBIAMAR Fair, and through world-class speakers and panelists, it becomes an ideal space for academic, technological and industrial relations, which strengthens the generation of new knowledge, development of research and the latest technological trends around the naval industry.
