For a decade the National Security College at The Australian National University has been engaging minds for a secure Australia. Our mission is now more pressing than ever.
In the era we are living through, securing the nation — and its people — involves a new suite of challenges. And it is set to get harder.
To mark the College’s 10th anniversary, we hosted an online event series to explore ideas and insights from Australian leaders in national security and beyond — illuminating the difficult policy choices ahead.
All events in this series are available to watch on-demand below and have been released on the National Security Podcast.
