Chair of Defence Management Studies


The Security and Defence Forum is a National Defence grant program with a mandate to develop and support a domestic competence and national interest in defence issues of current and future relevance to Canada.

The Department of National Defence supports one Chair of Defence Management Studies at a Canadian university with a view to developing theories, skills and concepts required to manage and make decisions within the Canadian defence establishment. This aim is met primarily through a program comprised of advanced research, teaching and outreach, with a particular emphasis on research. The Chair complements Centre of Expertise activities and maintains a leadership role in furthering questions of defence policy, defence economics, defence-related social issues, and defence administration and resource management.
