The world is changing at an ever increasing pace. How can we exploit opportunities from new and emerging technologies in policy-making across government; and can we capture their risks and security vulnerabilities including to government? Does our current model of developing and implementing policy require work in this agile, technology driven, environment? What changes might be required?
Background
The challenges have become more complex, intertwined and dangerous as the world has become more uncertain and volatile. Domestic, overseas and online threats are increasingly integrated as adversaries develop capabilities and exploit vulnerabilities across borders and between the cyber and physical worlds. We are seeking research to help Government adapt to a changing security environment based on research and evidence.
