Southern Joint Branch of RINA & IMarEST
About US
Southern Joint Branch for Members in Dorset & Hampshire, is comprised of members of both the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology and runs a diverse programme of lectures and social events. Our social programme begins with our President’s Drinks Reception in May, which is an informal networking event for the South’s maritime community and ends with our black tie Annual Dinner in November. Our technical programme runs a number of technical lectures throughout the year on a wide variety of topics which are open to both members and non-members. The branch aims to inform and assist at all stages of career development and technical events are eligible for CPD. We also have an active Early Careers Professionals network which runs targeted events throughout the year.

RINA unveils Maritime Cybersecurity Task Force
The maritime industry is playing catch-up on cybersecurity as the stereotypical perception of it as solely an IT issue has allowed hostile actors to gain the upper hand, says Dinos A. K. in The Naval Architect. Dinos' recent article tackles this misconception and what is being done to change things.
GET INVOLVED
We are always looking for Members to contribute, whether through supporting the management of the Branch, volunteering at events, or with speaking, training, webinars, STEM activitites for local schools universities, and even mentoring our younger members.
