    Programme of events

    Situated in Whitehall and within walking distance of all the major government departments, the Institute is ideally placed to attract high-quality speakers and participants at its events. These vary in size and format from set piece lectures to conferences, seminars, round table meetings and workshops.

    The potential for climate change to reshape security landscapes is an issue which is rapidly rising on the world political agenda. Military roles and force structures must adapt to these changes, however incorporating climate effects into planning and operations, and generating momentum for institutional change in the face of this new security environment remain significant challenges.

    Rear Admiral Chris Parry will discuss whether operations in Iraq and Afghanistan are re-defining the character of future warfare or whether they are a temporary aberration that is distracting the attention of UK strategic and military planners away from addressing more complex challenges of the next twenty years.

    This workshop will examine the role the media has played, and can play, in emergencies. It will explore best practice for engaging with the media and give examples both of good practice employed in previous events and those from which lessons can be learned for the future.
    Conference: Space for Defence and Security 09:00, 16 - 17 Sep 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
    The reliance of defence and security forces on space is often little understood. This conference will analyse the developing strategic role of space assets in the UK, US, Australia, Canada and Europe.
    RUSImotif smallWorkshop: Israel's Arab Citizens: Peering into the Future 13:00, 19 Sep 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
    For decades, the status and fate of Israel’s Arab citizens has been a hotly disputed subject. They are full citizens of the state, but are not subjected to all the obligations of an Israeli citizen and – some argue - do not enjoy all the rights either. The difficult questions persist: who are these Arab citizens of Israel? Is their identity to be seen as merely a question of civic duties, or does it have wider strategic implications? Can they share several cultural and national identities at the at the same time? And, finally, can they act as a bridge between Israel and its immediate neighbours?
    RUSImotif smallEvent: Lord Trenchard Memorial Lecture 2008: The RAF - A Ninety Year History 13:00, 22 Sep 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
    This year marks the ninetieth birthday of the Royal Air Force, an appropriate moment to look back over the force's history and to assess the changes and the continuities that have shaped its evolution. Professor Richard Overy will examine the political context for a force that has co-existed with Britain's ninety years as a full political democracy, in which the principal role of the force has been to defend and preserve that modern political heritage.
