ABOUT THE EVENT
The conference is the launch event of Security & Defence PLuS, a core initiative of the PLuS Alliance. The PLuS Alliance is a partnership between Arizona State University, King's College London and UNSW, which combines the strengths of three leading research universities on three continents with a focus on solving global challenges.
Our aim for the Advancing AUKUS conference is to provide a platform for informed and practically focused policy discussion about this vital new partnership between Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
We are looking to understand how we can best place our universities to assist in delivering the innovation, industrial, science and technology skills that the AUKUS partnership anticipates.
