Institute for Global Maritime Studies, also known as IGMS (established in 2008) is a maritime studies non-profit organization dedicated to policy-oriented education and research.
The Institute was co-founded by John Curtis Perry, Professor at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and director of the Maritime Studies program. Other co-founders include Rockford Weitz, Scott Borgerson, Enrique Hidalgo and Andrew C. Hess. In 2015 Rocky Weitz succeeded Perry as the president of the institute.
IGMS is composed of fellows who produce and publish research. Fellows' works have been published both in the IGMS site as well as in other publications. Fellows also attend conferences and do on-site research through various field trips.
In 2013 the IGMS expanded its reach to the maritime community by establishing a Greek Chapter under the official name Institute of Global Maritime Chapter-Greek Chapter.
