A Scientific Edge
Investing in Research and Innovation for Engineering Progress.
CWP Engineering has always believed that great engineering is a continuous quest for knowledge rather than just a matter of technical skills.
Real progress happens when academics and practitioners work together in symphony. That’s why the company holds strong relationships with universities and institutions, supporting coastal and marine engineering research activities. CWP Engineering is also committed to growing talent from within.
The company is fostering the next generation of problem-solvers who will take on tomorrow’s coastal, waterways, and ports engineering challenges by sponsoring PhD programs for a select group of team members.
Furthermore, CWP Engineering maintains a unique perspective on testing. Rather than being confined to commercial labs, the company partners with universities to conduct physical model testing in environments that allow for true precision and empower innovation.
Currently, CWP Engineering participates in collaborative initiatives with the University of Salento and the University of Campania Studies “Luigi Vanvitelli”.
Through partnerships with universities and educational institutions, CWP Engineering benefits from:
Access to Top
Research Facilities
Scientific
Knowledge Exchange
Fresh Ideas &
Emerging Talent
University of
Salento
The partnership between CWP Engineering and the University of Salento stems from a mutual dedication to expanding the boundaries of marine and coastal engineering.
Through the university’s EUMER Laboratory, CWP conducts research that combines scientific disciplines with practical applications.
This includes the joint development of solutions in fields where innovation can make a tangible difference to communities and industries, such as hydraulics, maritime construction, and offshore engineering,
One of the pillars of this relationship is the precision testing of physical and numerical models. These tests provide CWP Engineering the opportunity to question traditional methods and swap them out for new solutions. Solutions that have been verified and refined in a controlled environment. By working alongside academics, the company ensures that each design is strong, efficient, and functional.
The partnership with the University of Salento also supports research projects with a focus on sustainable coastal and marine infrastructure. These projects integrate extensive technical expertise with progressive sustainability concepts to deal with challenges like erosion, harbor stability, and offshore energy platforms.
Εnsuring theoretical work translates seamlessly into practice.
CWP Engineering fosters a relationship that benefits both parties by providing technical and scientific consultancy. This way, the company brings expertise gained from years of fieldwork into university classrooms.
The alliance with the University of Salento additionally strengthens CWP Engineering’s position as an active contributor in European and national research projects, via the joint preparation of funding proposals.
Moreover, CWP Engineering sponsors PhD programs for team members, giving them the chance to develop their expertise and expand their knowledge through research engagement. This investment serves two purposes: it boosts the company’s knowledge base and stimulates the growth of the next generation of engineering professionals.
University of Campania Studies “Luigi Vanvitelli”
CWP Engineering’s collaboration with the University of Campania Studies “Luigi Vanvitelli” demonstrates an equal commitment to developing advanced engineering skills.
The joint PhD program promotes broad technical research in the areas of coastal, waterways, and ports engineering.
In its essence, it’s about teaching the scientists of tomorrow how to think creatively so they can come up with new ways to solve tough engineering problems.
