Associazione di Ingegneria OffShore e Marina

The Associazione di Ingegneria Offshore e Marina (AIOM) is an Italian non-profit association that seeks to further the knowledge and study of marine engineering. The association was founded in Milan in 1982 to create a forum for scientists and engineers involved in maritime professional activities. AIOM organizes congresses, conferences, seminars and other events to promote the continuing education and advancement of industry professionals. The organization has cooperated with several national and international bodies during its activities (e.g.ASME, IALCCE ) and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012.
