Convergence Series 2025 #3 - Building National Resilience
Event description
The National Defence Strategy and National Science and Research Priorities both highlight the importance of building national resilience for a secure Australia - including bolstering Australia’s ability to anticipate, prevent, and respond to emergencies and natural disasters.
Building national resilience will require strong partnerships, effective coordination, and the development of new capabilities for crisis response and recovery. So how can we leverage the entire ecosystem to build national resilience?
