Greenwich Maritime Institute holds a range of events, seminars and conferences including the popular Research Seminar series.

GMI Public Research Seminars are held once a month during term time. Experts are specially invited to give a presentation on areas that relate to the three broad themes that the GMI specialises in: Maritime History, Maritime Policy and Maritime Management. Presentations are then followed by questions from the audience. Anyone is welcome to attend.
