The Institute is administered under
the supervision, control and direction of a
Governing Board. The teaching at IMLI is undertaken by the Resident
Faculty consisting of a Director and a full time international
staff. Their work is complemented by a number of visiting
fellows who lecture on the latest developments in their area
of expertise. The Academic Committee

study and research programme of the Institute and in the regulation
of the personnel of the Institute. The Institute is supplemented
by an administrative and secretarial staff.
The entire running costs of the Institute, apart from those covered
by the Government of Malta, in terms of the Agreement between that
Government and IMO, are met by voluntary funds. No financial contributions
are made from the assessed budget of IMO.
