Southern Joint Branch

The Southern Joint Branch 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.
