Are there opportunities for marine scientists in
the dredging world?
DEME │ CREATING LAND FOR THE FUTURE
YES! Dredging is not a purely civil engineering playfield anymore!
Therefore, Dredging, Environmental & Marine Engineering welcomes future change agents
Come and join us to shift from “Thinking out of the box” to “Acting out of the box”
