We are delighted to host this welcoming event in partnership with The Great South West (GSW) and the South West Regional Defence & Security Cluster (SWRDSC) to showcase how academia is contributing to the region’s capability across research and education for UK Defence & Security.

This initial event will focus on some of the region’s scientific excellence in defence R&D for Advanced Materials, Data Science, AI, Human Performance and Protection. We invite you to help us shape future university and regional R&D and investment programmes; as well as partake in timely discussions around what opportunities the Strategic Defence Review and Industrial Strategy may bring regionally for the sector.

The GSW offers a thriving defence ecosystem across its academic and industrial base. This event aims to provide more visibility of the region’s capability and potential for further growth to support the UK’s defence and security needs.

If you would like to attend this event, please register using the ‘Get tickets’ link above and we look forward to seeing you on the day.
