The Defence Human Sciences Symposium (DHSS) is the principal Australian forum for those interested in the application of human sciences research to enhance Defence capability. The 2019 DHSS will take place on 19 and 20 November at the University of Canberra. The symposium will include a number of keynote speakers as well as presentations.
The theme for this year's symposium is "Human Sciences Impact for the Warfighter". Defence is dependent on government departments like Defence Science and Technology, private sector organisations and universities to conduct research and development activities that ultimately affect the way that that Defence fulfils its roles and missions. Having an impact in tomorrow's complex Defence environment will be a key challenge for human sciences because of the complex nature of modern operations.
The DHSS Organising Committee is aiming for a diverse program. Abstract submissions are invited for presentations in a wide range of topics including, but not limited to Defence focused themes (e.g., future technologies, resilience, trusted autonomous systems), human performance (e.g., anthropometry, decision making, food and nutrition), human systems analysis (e.g., ergonomics and human systems engineering, training and education), human sciences in national security (e.g., cyber security, social and cultural analysis, social media exploitation), methodologies (e.g., ethics, measurements and metrics, modelling and simulation) and organisational effectiveness (e.g., health and safety, organisational culture, personnel selection and retention).
The above topics are indicative rather than all-inclusive. All submissions that directly relate to delivering human sciences impact for the warfighter will be considered.
