Georgetown's annual Transatlantic Policy Symposium (TAPS) will be held virtually in February 2021. This year's theme is "Building Better Partnerships: Transatlantic Cooperation with the Developing World." We encourage APSIA grad students to submit abstracts!
The 2021 Transatlantic Policy Symposium asks you to analyze the challenges and opportunities facing the United States, Europe, and countries in the developing world. What specific problems must be addressed, what are the solutions, and who must rise to meet this challenge so that stable, mutually beneficial relationships are created? We welcome analysis from your respective academic discipline (Political Science, Economics, History, or Cultural Studies) and your regional expertise. Please see this flyer for more information.

For your awareness:

  • The Career Development Drop-In Hours with Sharon Swabb scheduled for September 14 are cancelled.

New America is hosting a national security essay competition.
Submissions should either offer innovative approaches to security policy, or incorporate disciplines and modes of thought less well-represented in the contemporary policy process, or both. They should feature truly new thoughts on central security challenges, understood to include (but not limited to) endless war, nuclear weapons, and alliance arrangements, as well as pandemics, climate security, and migration.

Prizes

  • We will award $1,000 prizes to the top three submissions.
  • We will also select 1-3 honorable mentions.
  • The prize winners and honorable mentions will be published in a media outlet or as New America publications.

Contest Rules

  • Submissions should be 1,200-2,500 word “policy memos” or 15-20 minute video “briefings."
  • Each essay or video should include a description of the problem you seek to address and a short review of why existing mechanisms are inadequate.
  • Most of the paper/video should focus on outlining an alternative approach, the specifics of how this approach would work, what obstacles it would face, and what would be needed to make the proposed approach work.

The submission deadline has been extended: submissions will be open through July 16th, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT.

An advisory committee will read and comment on submissions.

The NMIF is pleased to announce its annual competition for scholarships to support students pursuing courses of study and formal degrees in intelligence studies and related disciplines.

Due to the rapidly emerging set of challenges posed by COVID-19 to all the universities and students, the National Military Intelligence Foundation has extended the scholarship application deadline to 30 June 2020. Please find attached the application students are to fill out and return to scholarships@nmif.org and myself, Natalie.anderson.nmif@gmail.com.

If able, please pass along this information to your students. As a former NMIF Merit Scholarship award winner of 2018, I can attest to just how much such an award means to these students. Therefore, I am attempting to get this application in front of as many students as I can so they can have the chance to be acknowledged for their hard work and dedication to intelligence studies and related disciplines.

The awards for this year’s scholarship will be dependent on the donations received throughout the year. In addition to providing a grant to academic institutions to be applied to the winning applicants’ tuition, each award will be accompanied by an invitation to attend the NMIF Awards Banquet to be held later this year 2020, pending a TBA postponed date due to COVID-19. I highly recommend all students, current IC professionals, industry professionals, university faculty, and staff attend this banquet because it is a really great event and rewarding experience for all.

Additional information regarding the NMIF Merit Scholarship and the NMIF Awards Banquet can be found on the NMIF website at http://nmif.org/ under the "Scholarships" tab.
