Defence and Security Conference 2022

We welcome you to share research and experiences on resilience in Defence and Security through two sub-topics:

1.The importance of partnerships

The Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy (2021) highlighted the importance of strengthening resilience through national and global collaboration with allies and partners.

We are keen to hear about your work and your experiences across a wide range of topics which may include building and maintaining partnerships to counter state threats, build capability at home and overseas or defence and deterrence through collective security. 

2. Building, maintaining, and restoring resilience 

Building resilience to establish a ‘whole-of-society’ approach requires work to be done at individual, organisational and societal levels to improve our ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from a wide-range of risks. 

You may be working in mental health and wellbeing for example, at the individual level.

Or supporting organisational resilience through an integrated approach across government, industry, the third sector and academia.

Building a higher level of societal resilience to deal with the challenges of the grey zone could be an area of interest in your work.

Whatever your area of interest, we would love to hear from practitioners and researchers who are willing to share their knowledge about resilience in defence and security.

Target audience: Social psychology and Cognitive, Clinical, Occupational, Sports and Exercise. All those who may have an interest in applying psychology In Defence and Security Section.
