The British Psychological Society Defence and Security Conference 2023

The British Psychological Society Defence and Security conference 2023 will be held at Novotel Birmingham Centre, 70 Broad Street, Birmingham, B1 2HT.

The British Psychological Society welcomes you to share research and experiences on resilience in Defence and Security through two sub-topics:

The importance of partnerships

• The Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy (2021) highlighted the importance of strengthening resilience through national and global collaboration with allies and partners.
• They are keen to hear about your work and your experiences across a wide range of topics which may include building and maintaining partnerships to counter state threats, build capability at home and overseas or defence and deterrence through collective security. 

Building, maintaining and restoring resilience

• Building resilience to establish a ‘whole-of-society’ approach requires work to be done at individual, organisational and societal levels to improve our ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from a wide range of risks. 
• You may be working in mental health and well-being for example, at the individual level. Or supporting organisational resilience through an integrated approach across government, industry, the third sector and academia.
• Building a higher level of societal resilience to deal with the challenges of the grey zone could be an area of interest in your work.
• Whatever your area of interest, they would love to hear from practitioners and researchers who are willing to share their knowledge about resilience in defence and security.
