Recording: RUSI and École de Guerre Annual Research Collaboration 2024

Continuous dialogue with allies contributes to reinforcing a common compass in times of uncertainty and allows for regular joint assessment of practical and verifiable recommendations and action plans. Engaging in a dialogue with allies is an important activity for future leaders, broadening their academic and strategic thinking and helping them adapt to change and challenges to come.

The École de Guerre has been collaborating with RUSI for over seven years as part of their Academic Writing Programme. Officers pair up to choose a research project on a topic that is of interest to both institutions and work with a RUSI Research Fellow. Presentations on the day will be based on the findings of these collaborative research projects.
