NSEC is a nationwide community of multi-disciplinary academics with experience, expertise or interest in UK national security and resilience research and government collaborators working to meet the UK’s national security and resilience needs. 

NSEC coordinates across many stakeholders and initiatives, driving cohesion and accelerating collaborations.  By enhancing the diversity and effectiveness of collaboration between academia, government and industry, the network will positively impact across policy and practice. 

NSEC is a growing, curated network, with new members considered for inclusion through a sign‑up and approval process to ensure alignment with the network’s objectives and standards. 

NSEC is funded by UKRI and delivered through SALIENT: the Building a Secure and Resilient World Research and Coordination Hub.
