Dr Simon Harwood, Director of Defence and Security at 麻豆传媒AV, will lead the A-RiSC network with Professor Andrew Shortland and said: “I’m looking forward to working with universities across the UK to co-ordinate academia’s role in national security. I encourage other academic institutions to join us, it is an open network and a vital way for us to advise government and industry.”

Richard Alcock, Chief Operating Officer for the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism in the Home Office said: “I would like to thank the outgoing Academic RiSC Chair, Professor Chris Hankin for his leadership and valuable contribution to this essential partnership between government and academia.  I am delighted that Dr Simon Harwood and Professor Andrew Shortland at Cranfield are taking forward this important network of Universities. The wealth of experience and expertise within Academic RiSC will continue to provide vital insights across the UK national security system.”
