The Evolving Landscape: Research, Innovation, and National Security
Drawing on decades of military and NATO leadership, retired Lt. Gen. Scott Kindsvater will explore the evolving relationship among research, innovation, economic competitiveness, and national security. He will discuss emerging security innovation ecosystems, opportunities for research universities and their partners in advancing critical capabilities, and the growing importance of dual-use technologies. He will also share insights on the key factors that will shape the ability of nations and institutions to compete, innovate, and thrive in the decades ahead. The talk will be followed by a fireside chat. Attendees will be invited to submit questions for discussion in the registration form and during the event. The event is part of the Office of Research and Innovation's Distinguished Speaker Series on National Security and National Security Initiative, which is helping translate discovery into solutions that strengthen security, resilience, and quality of life for communities across the nation.
