 The
Conference of Defence Associations Institute (CDAI) 8th Annual
Graduate Student Symposium, Security and Defence: National and
International Issues, October 28-29, held in collaboration with CDFAI,
was extremely successful.
Thirty-seven individuals, mainly from DND-funded Security and Defence
Forum (SDF) centres, gave stimulating presentations on various
defence, security, and development issues. More than 100 people
attended the conference, making this the best attended Symposium ever.
Senator Hugh Segal and Major-General Andrew Leslie were
keynote speakers.
The top three presenters were (from first to third place) Justin
Massie (L'Université du Québec à Montréal), Ty Curran (University of
Calgary) and Bruno Charbonneau (Queen’s University). They received
cash prizes of $3000, $2000, and $1000, respectively and their papers
will be published on the CDFAI website.
