Defence and Security Symposium 2021

The Defence White Paper recognises that a close collaboration between Defence, Industry and Academia is vital to the security of Australia. In the process this collaboration also works to foster game changing innovation and commercialisation opportunities.  

Hosted by Deakin University, the Defence and Security Symposium (DSS) is an annual event which brings together participants from defence, industry and academia to exchange ideas and information and to connect with decision makers from Defence, academic researchers and industry capability developers.
