Since its foundation in 1972, IOI has conducted and managed training and capacity building programmes in Ocean Governance and adjacent topics with content covering contemporary approaches to coastal and ocean management, with an emphasis on the moral, ethical and legal values (equity and peaceful uses of the ocean) under the governance architecture of UNCLOS and related international instruments and agreements.
The IOI has trained over 4500 young practitioners from developing countries and countries in transition, contributing towards a growing global network of trained and empowered leaders.
Target audiences are mid-career practitioners in ocean governance: scientists, policy makers, educators and decision makers. They are in a position to successfully transmit and apply the acquired knowledge on return to their institutions, serving as educators and ocean advocates in their homeland. The IOI enjoys strong links with a growing alumni network world-wide.
The training is delivered via classroom-based lectures, interactive discussions, field trips, simulations and exercises, individual participant presentations, and international round tables with guidance offered by expert faculty and mentors and supported through appropriate learning tools.
Announcements for applications to participate in the IOI Training Programmes can be found on the IOI website, on the respective Training page of the Centre, and announced in the IOInforma from time to time. Share the links and opportunities with potential interested applicants in your networks.
