The world is changing rapidly and we continue to see long-term shifts in the balance of global and military power, increasing competition between states as well as the threat from non-state actors. The challenges have become more complex and intertwined. We are inviting research organisations to consider our latest research interests in measuring and responding to security threats in a way that is evidence-led.

The key question underpinning the "National Security through Partnership" Fellowship is: how can we promote better engagement between National Security stakeholders - policy-makers and practitioners - and acade...
Funded by: ESRC
Lead research organisation: University of Cambridge
The project partially answers the question by exploring new mechanisms for engagement between national security stakeholders and academia, but does not specifically address gaining evidence-based assurances about the effectiveness of capabilities linked to low-frequency high-impact events through use of experimental methods.
For most of the 20th century warfare was understood as something that happens between nation states. Most security technology was therefore developed for conventional warfare between States, with military technologies in...
Funded by: ESRC
Lead research organisation: London School of Economics and Political Science
The project partially answers the question by seeking to understand how technology shapes and is shaped by changing ways of thinking about security, but does not specifically address gaining evidence-based assurances about the effectiveness of capabilities linked to low-frequency high-impact events through use of experimental methods.
The RBOC (Resilience Beyond Observed Capabilities) Network Plus will create new knowledge, new capabilities and new opportunities for collaboration to help the UK prepare for security threats in the coming decades. The s...
Funded by: EPSRC
Lead research organisation: Coventry University
The project partially answers the question by investigating what capabilities, techniques, and vulnerabilities could be exploited by adversaries to mount high-impact attacks against the UK, but does not specifically address gaining evidence-based assurances about the effectiveness of capabilities linked to low-frequency high-impact events through use of experimental methods.
