The Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) is a learned society formed in 1947. It has three main aims: to unite all those with a professional or personal interest in any aspect of navigation in one unique body; to further the development of navigation in every sphere; and to increase public awareness of both the art and science of navigation, how it has shaped the past, how it impacts our world today, and how it will affect the future.
The RIN allows members to plug into the heart of the navigation issues that matter most to them, via Special Interest Groups and Regional Branches. See which ones most appeal to you.
