“TO SECURE AUSTRALIA’S FUTURE BY PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL SECURITY LEADERS FOR THE INEVITABLE CHALLENGES AND CRISES AUSTRALIA WILL FACE IN THE 21ST CENTURY“

WHAT IS THE AUSTRALIAN CRISIS SIMULATION SUMMIT?

In September 2020, sixty of Australia’s future national security leaders will connect online for a 5 day national security Summit. The program will include three intense, realistic and challenging crisis simulations, a national security careers and networking day, and live, interactive panel discussions with the people and institutions who play a key role in shaping national security discourse in Australia.

In an effort to mitigate the risk posed to students by COVID-19, the Summit will be headquartered at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra and via the latest virtual conference technologies, delegates will be able to participate in the Summit from the comfort of their homes. The nation’s capital provides unique access to leading figures in Australia’s national security space. We’re working closely with leading academics at the ANU, our Patron, Admiral (Ret.) Chris Barrie, AC, Former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, and the Department of Defence to deliver the Summit.

Students will develop the skills the next generation of Australian leaders need to tackle the inevitable challenges of the 21st Century. Students will leave with a greater understanding of the intricacies of Australia’s foreign and defence policy challenges, a network of potential employers and connections to people with similar passions and career ambitions.
