Defence Human Sciences Symposium 2018
The Defence Human Sciences Symposium (DHSS) is the principal Australian forum for those interested in the application of human sciences research to enhance Defence capability.
The symposium is run annually, and this year being jointly hosted by DST and Curtin University.
The theme for this year’s symposium is “Minder, Mentor, Minion, Mate: Warfighter roles in Future Complex Systems”.
Defence has long recognised the capability advantage that teams provide over individual effort across the Defence domains (Land, Sea, Air, Joint). The study of human teams and the degree to which knowledge about human teams generalises to the opportunities and challenges presented by teams of human and non-human agents are therefore of critical importance.
The DHSS program will take place over two days.
Delegates interested in hearing more about the Human Performance Research network (HPRnet) can attend the HPRnet Symposium which will run the day before the DHSS in the same location.
The DHSS will include a number of keynote speakers as well as technical workshops and presentations. The full program will be made available closer to the date.
