From an education and training perspective, DSC is France’s first summer school geared towards three professional sectors: defence, security and cyber.

DSC has to be viewed in the context of global security – internal and external security – with particular attention to be given to industrial and cyber-digital security technologies.

DSC places the emphasis on current professional issues and on content focused on innovation and forward planning.

The theme for the 2015 Session will be “Robots, SALA and drones: issues surrounding the automation of security and defence”

The Summer School is open to private-sector professionals (defence, security and cyber), sovereign professionals (civilians, law enforcement officials, the military), as well students at Master level. The working languages will be French and English.

Sir David Omand GCB (Former director of the Government Communication Headquarters and advisor to Prime Minister Tony Blair on security and intelligence) will open with a keynote lecture discussing « Democracies facing the new global threats ».
