About Divisions and Branches

RINA has Divisions and Branches worldwide. These organise professional, technical and social events for the benefit of local members, providing an opportunity to meet and exchange views with other industry professionals. Members of the Institution are automatically members of their national Division and local Branch, and are kept informed of events, many of which are open to non-members.

Branches are managed by their Committee, elected from and by the members of the Branch. Some Branches are organised jointly with other professional institutions, whilst some hold joint meetings with other organizations. Members of Committees and programmes are shown on each Branch's webpage.
