Defence: Higher Education
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, by what date applications will open for year two of the Defence Universities Alliance.
- Answer
-
The Defence Universities Alliance was launched with its 35 founding members on 13 July. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) will now work with these members to shape and design the alliance, its governance structures and the agenda going forward, ensuring this is a collaborative alliance beneficial to both the MOD and the HE sector.
Once these initial principles have been established, applications for membership are expected to open again, ensuring a wider group of institutions can be part of the Alliance and build on their support for defence.
