IMAM Congress has almost 35-years history, beginning from the first Congress of International Maritime Association of the East Mediterranean (IMAEM), which took place in Istanbul in 1978. IMAEM was founded by Universities from six countries (Bulgaria, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia and Turkey). Later other countries which are bordered with the Mediterranean region have joined them. Prime aim of Congress was supporting the exchange of academic researches in actual directions of marine science.
IMAEM Congresses took place every three year in:
• Istanbul (1978);
• Trieste (1981);
• Athens (1984);
• Varna (1987);
• Athens (1990).
After Greece conference Congress was renamed to International Maritime Association of the Mediterranean (IMAM). IMAM Congresses took place in:
• Varna (1993);
• Dubrovnik (1995);
• Istanbul (1997);
• Ishia Island, Italy (2000);
• Crete Island, Greece (2003);
• Lisbon (2005);
• Varna (2007);
• Istanbul (2009);
• Genoa (2011);
• La Coruna (2013).
Marine Engineering Bureau is taking part in IMAM Congresses since 2000.
Nowadays IMAM significantly extended scope of activity and stands out as effective International Association in Marine Technologies and Marine-Business complex of the Mediterranean region.
