    Abstract

    National security’s relationship with science and technology (S&T) is often framed in terms of S&T’s ability to contribute to defence capabilities and economic growth, or how S&T advancements pose risks to a country’s national security. What are other ways in which we should think about national security’s relationship with S&T?

    At the same time, governments are also no longer the most influential players in S&T by default – how have “Big Tech” companies, start-ups, and research institutions changed the role played by governments? How are governments reacting to their evolving role, and what are the implications of this?

    This webinar will explore these issues from the perspectives of China, Europe, and the United States.
