Examining the capabilities and commitments driving contemporary conflict

What We Do

We convene a forum that occupies a strategic and effective position bringing together a cross-party and cross-house group of parliamentarians, academics, civil servants, and civil society actors with an interest in the capabilities and commitments driving contemporary warfare. Our work capitalises on new and emerging research, targeted knowledge exchange, existing parliamentary processes and our diverse network to advance research, discussion, and policy-making regarding emerging technology, covert operations, and other issues which are outpacing conventional oversight mechanisms in the context of modern conflict.

Upcoming Events

We serve as as a vital link between Parliamentarians and experts from non-governmental organisations, academics, and think tanks. We run a number of public events each year alongside our partners to share knowledge and advance key topical issues on the agendas of decision-makers.

Research and Resources

We are committed to supporting evidence-based policy and decision-making in UK Parliament and beyond. With this in mind, the Group undertakes policy research, both independently and collaboratively with partners, across each of it’s workstreams. Wherever possible, our research is made available to our network and the general public.

Actions and Impact

We work with our network to utilise parliamentary processes, including early day motions, debates, inquiries, parliamentary questions, and committee requests to advance policy and decision-making on issues within our mandate.
