IBRU 2025 workshop programme:
Our next workshop takes place in September 2025 on Maritime Boundary Delimitation. Places are limited and bookings are now being taken.

Clearly-defined maritime boundaries are essential for good international relations and effective ocean management, yet few coastal states have agreed all their maritime boundaries with their neighbours.
Part of the reason for this is that boundary delimitation requires a range of specialist legal and technical skills which are not always readily available to governments.
Combining lectures, discussion and practical exercises, IBRU’s most popular workshop helps participants develop the skills needed to achieve an equitable division of maritime space and clearly defined maritime boundaries.

This 3 day workshop takes place in Durham, UK.
