Women continue to face barriers to entering the maritime sector and progressing in their careers. Stereotypes, limited access to professional networks, and workplace cultures where women remain underrepresented can affect both education and working life.
ATALANTA addresses these challenges by exploring how education, digital learning tools, and mentoring can help create better opportunities for women in the sector.
Innopixel is ATALANTA’s technology partner, responsible for developing the project’s VR scenarios. Working with the project’s maritime and subject matter experts, we translate identified needs and industry experience into interactive learning experiences.
We are developing virtual maritime environments where participants will be able to practise decision-making, communication, and teamwork in challenging situations. The scenarios explore safety and responsibility on board alongside interpersonal challenges, including responding to inappropriate behaviour. The aim is to let participants explore different responses and reflect on their consequences in a controlled learning environment.
Innopixel also contributes to testing and the implementation of the project’s training activities. The project and its VR solutions are currently under development, with content and features being refined through collaboration with project partners and relevant professionals.
