IOI TRAINING PROGRAMME ON OCEAN GOVERNANCE: POLICY, LAW AND MANAGEMENT
IOI TRAINING PROGRAMME ON OCEAN GOVERNANCE: POLICY, LAW AND MANAGEMENT
16th May – 13th July, 2012With the support of Dalhousie University, the International Ocean Institute (IOI) has offered an intensive, interdisciplinary training programme in Canada annually since 1981. It is one of the courses available through the IOI network’s OceanLearn suite of programmes. In keeping with the vision of the late Elisabeth Mann Borgese, founder of the IOI, the purpose of the IOI-Canada course is to:
- deepen understanding of the ever-increasing importance of the oceans and their resources in world politics and sustainable economic development;
- assist developing countries in the formation of a core of decision-makers fully aware of the complex issues of ocean management; and,
- maximise benefits to be derived from the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea through the proper integration of ocean management into national and international development strategies.
The training programme takes place in Halifax on the campus of Dalhousie University, and consists of over 200 hours in the classroom. While it is primarily lecture-based, the course also includes interactive discussions, exercises, field trips, and an international round table.
