The International Maritime Club (IMC) Honorary Doctorate Leadership Excellence Awards typically refers to an honor bestowed upon an individual in recognition of their exceptional leadership qualities and contributions to the Maritime & Shipping Industry. The IMC Honorary Doctorate Leadership Excellence Award is an honorary doctorate conferred honorarily, distinct from a traditional academic doctorate earned through research and study. The IMC Honorary Doctorate Leadership Excellence Awards is conducted in association with European International University (EIU), Paris, France, to honor individuals who have made exceptional contributions to their respective fields and serve as role models for aspiring leaders. The award typically involves a formal ceremony where the recipient is conferred with the IMC Honorary Doctorate Certificate and recognized for their leadership excellence through various Maritime Association-based contributions, speeches, citations, and other forms of acknowledgment.
