Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies

The Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies was formally launched by Admiral Sir Jonathon Band, KCB, ADC, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, in September 2007. The centre aims to promote the understanding and analysis of maritime history and policy and to provide a forum for the interaction of academics, policy-makers and practitioners.

The centre aims:

• To enhance the national and international visibility of maritime affairs.
• To develop links among academics and academic departments, as well as policy-makers and other individuals and institutions with an interest in this subject area.
• To foster policy-relevant research, both individual and collaborative projects.
• To provide a forum for policy debate and analysis.
• To encourage and support seminars, conferences and publications.
• To support and develop research-driven education.
