Dstl has partnered with US Strategic Command and US Naval War College for the 6th annual deterrence and assurance academic alliance event. Registrations and abstract submissions are open for a fully virtual event being held from 30 March to 1 April 2021, hosted by the University of Nebraska in Omaha, USA.

The theme of the event is Building a Common Language: Integrating Deterrence and Competition with Allies and it will feature panel discussions with participants from around the world, plus an experiential learning event designed to challenge participant understanding of deterrence. The event is free, but participants must register in advance.

Dstl runs a parallel Deterrence and Assurance Academic Alliance in the UK, bringing together students and academics with an interest in deterrence and assurance. This community of interest, made up of academic institutions in partnership with Dstl, conducts new research on deterrence and related topics such as coercion and conflict escalation.
